Pascagoula, Coastal city in Jackson County, Mississippi, United States.
Located along Mississippi Sound, Pascagoula spans 24.5 square miles with a network of waterways connecting to the Gulf of Mexico.
Established in 1718, Pascagoula derives its name from Native American tribes who inhabited villages along the Pascagoula River before European settlement.
The Legend of the Singing River mural at Pascagoula post office, created by Lorin Thompson in 1939, depicts local Native American traditions.
