History
Hattiesburg is a city in Mississippi, bisected by the county line between Forrest County (where it is the county seat[2]) and Lamar County. The population was 45,989 in the 2010 census.[3] It is the principal city of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses Forrest, Lamar and Perry counties. Previously inhabited by the Choctaw Native Americans, the area now called Hattiesburg was obtained by the United States under the terms of the Treaty of Mount Dexter in 1805. After the treaty was ratified, European-American settlers began to move into the area. []
