Davis Bend, Mississippi, also known as Hurricane Island Bend, was a peninsula named after planter Joseph Emory Davis, who owned most of the property. There he established the 5,000-acre Hurricane Plantation as a model slave community. Davis Bend was about 15 miles south of Vicksburg, Mississippi, and was surrounded by the Mississippi River on three sides. Davis gave his much younger brother Jefferson Davis the adjoining Brierfield Plantation.
