Vicksburg, Historic Civil War city in Warren County, Mississippi, United States.
Located on a bluff at 82 meters elevation, Vicksburg stretches along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, forming a natural gateway between north and south.
The surrender of Confederate forces after a 47-day siege in 1863 marked a decisive turning point in the Civil War, granting Union forces control of the Mississippi River.
The Vicksburg National Military Park preserves 1,800 acres of battlefield land, containing numerous monuments, markers, fortifications, and a naval museum with detailed exhibits.
The city contains four riverside casinos, 115 restaurants, multiple shopping centers, and numerous accommodation options ranging from hotels to historic bed and breakfast establishments.
The Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg leads national research programs on flood control, navigation systems, and water infrastructure management.
