Rodney was once a thriving town which rivaled Natchez and Vicksburg. There is a Union gunboat cannonball in the facade of the Baptist church. At one point, the town had two newspapers, and over one hundred stores. But after the civil war, the Mississippi River changed course, and two fires claimed the city.
