LONG BEACH Pilgrimage Chairman - Mrs. Frank L. Myrick Wednesday, March 28 - 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
(HISTORY) Long Beach, the Friendly City, was incorporated on August
10,	1905. A British map of 1774 showing “Bear Point”, first name for Long Beach, is on page 5 of Rosalie and Radishes, a history of Long Beach by Mary Ellen Alexander. A family of Ladniers, original settlers, built a house at Bear Point in 1774 known as the Old Plantation. Because of its two tall chimneys, it became a landmark to seamen and others along the Coast and the area was commonly called “La Chemince” and in the early 1800s, with the English, became known as The Chimneys. (The home had burned and only the chimneys remained.) Later a home was built on this land purchased from the Widow L’Adner and called “Rosalie”. About 1853 Long Beach was called Scott’s Station. James Thomas and his brother Woods bought a large tract for a nursery of fruit trees, specializing in satsumas, peaches, pears and pecans (St. Thomas Catholic Church is now on this property). They platted Original Long Beach and changed the name to Long Beach because of the long, sloping beaches of glistening white sand along the shoreline.
1.	LONG BEACH GARDEN CENTER - 201 East 5th Street. Pilgrimage 1990 marks the 60th anniversary of the Club and 37 years in the shelter of the historic clubhouse. A building program was begun in 1949 and a beautiful 50 x 150 plot of ground 1 block north of the Gulf of Mexico was donated to the club March 29, 1950, by charter member Mrs.
S.	E. Crane and her husband, for a building site. After many bake sales and other endeavors, the clubhouse was built and completed in 1953. And so this was the first Garden Club in the State of Miss, to have its own clubhouse. Camille’s 200 mph winds almost demolished the building in 1969 but it was restored and refurbished by September 1970. Both silver and golden anniversaries have been celebrated within the structure. Old and not so old souvenirs, records.

The tree’s 5’4” trunk, 66’ limbs and 150’ lateral roots with a big wooden platform built within the branches are a photographer’s dream scene. In 1987 a 500th Birthday Bash was celebrated with souvenirs, a 4’ x 8’ birthday cake and speeches by local dignitaries, with band music, fellowship and fireworks.
