Local pride: Biloxi is older than New Orleans — founded by the French in 1699, it twice served as capital of colonial French Louisiana before the crown moved the seat to New Orleans in 1722. Two centuries later its canneries earned it the title "Seafood Capital of the World," a story told today at the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum.
