History{{CSS image crop|Image = Lloyd's map of the lower Mississippi River from St. Louis to the Gulf of Mexico (map no. 3).jpg |bSize = 1220 |cWidth = 220 |cHeight = 220 |oTop = 2900 |oLeft = 120 |Location = left |Description = 1862 map showing William Perkins' plantation }} The area was settled in 1840 by William P. Perkins, who used slave labor to clear {{convert|2000|acre|ha|abbr=on}} of canebrakes on which he established Mound Plantation, a cotton plantation.[2][3] Mound Plantation and its river landing were named for three nearby Indian mounds.[2] Perkins eventually owned {{convert|3200|acre|ha|abbr=on}} of land at the settlement and, by 1850, was Bolivar County's largest land owner and one of the United States' largest slaveholders.[3] Mound Landing had a post office as early as 1880.[4] In 1886, the population of Mound Landing was 50.[5] A levee was erected in 1867 to protect the settlement from river flooding. The levee was locally financed, and subsequent improvements to the levee were made. A ferry landing was located at the settlement, with a ramp which permitted vehicles to pass over the top of the levee.[6] In April 1927, as water levels on the Mississippi River began to rise due to heavy rains, an unknown number of Negro prisoners were brought in chains to Mound Landing by the National Guard to fill sandbags at gunpoint in an effort to reinforce the levee. On April 21, the levee at Mound Landing broke, killing at least 100 prisoners and carrying their bodies several miles from the settlement. The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was one of the most damaging floods in the United States, inundating {{convert|1800|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} of land in the Mississippi Delta, taking 246 lives, and displacing 700,000 people.[7][8][9] A historic marker describing when "the Mississippi River broke the levee at Mound Landing" is located on Mississippi Highway 1, about {{convert|2.5|mi|km|abbr=on}} east of the former settlement.[10] All that remains at Mound Landing is a boatramp located on private property owned by a hunting club.[11] Notable people
