Pass
Christian, a charming oceanfront community…
…of about 6,500, has been long been known for its beautiful homes. In the
1930’s, many of its residents were commuters who worked in New Orleans. That
was a long way to travel in those days, but Pass Christian’s special appeal
made it worthwhile.
Pass
Christian was discovered by French-Canadian explorers in 1699, shortly after
the first French colony was established in Biloxi. The community was named
for the deep-water pass in the Mississippi Sound.
Many
of Pass Christians beautiful waterfront homes date back to the 1850s, an era
of great prosperity for the city. Although it was known primarily as a
vacation getaway, it soon gained importance as a regional trading center.
After the Civil War, local business got an additional boost from a new rail
line that passed through Pass Christian from New Orleans to Mobile.
The
seafood industry has been an anchor in the local economy for many years. The
oyster reef that lies just offshore is among the largest on the Mississippi
Gulf Coast.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of the city’s Scenic Drive
Historic District. There are still many homes on the east end of the Pass
that are being restored which still offer a glimpse of Pass Christian’s
earlier days, when there were more than 100 buildings listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Another historic site, the Pass Christian Yacht
Club, the home of Southern yachting, was formed in 1849 and is the
second-oldest yacht club in North America, just behind New York, the oldest.
It is in the process of being rebuilt and will be open by April, 2008.
Pass
Christian is governed by a mayor and five elected aldermen. Its Police
Department employs about 23 people full-time, and the Fire Department has
about 23 employees.
Pass Christian
is a vibrant community that cherishes its heritage, enjoys a strong civic
spirit, and appreciates the importance of maintaining a good quality of
life.
