Shortly after, the county seat was moved to Duncansby. In 1848, the county seat was moved to Tallula.[3] During the 19th century, the town erected dikes in an effort to reduce river flooding.[2] In 1900, Duncansby had two churches, a post office, and a population of 157.[4] The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began construction of the Sarah Cutoff in 1935, which created Old River Chute, an oxbow lake, and removed Duncansby from the contiguous Mississippi River.[5] Nothing remains of the former community.
