Long Beach began with a single family's log house. In 1788 Nicholas and Marianne Ladner became the first Europeans to settle here, building a home near Bear Point whose landmark chimneys gave the spot its first name among sailors, "the Chimneys"; it served as a navigation point for boats traveling between Mobile and New Orleans. After Nicholas died, the Spanish granted the land to his widow, and much of modern Long Beach lies on the Widow Ladner Claim.
The village that grew up in the 1800s was called Rosalie, after the home of early settler J. J. McCaughan. When the railroad came, it became Scott's Station, for George Scott, who gave land for the depot. On August 10, 1905, Governor James K. Vardaman issued a proclamation incorporating the Town of Long Beach, and its officials first met on October 3, 1905, in the Woodmen of the World Hall. Logging drove the early economy until the virgin yellow pine was gone, and farmers then planted the cleared land. Long Beach called itself the "Radish Capital of the World" for its Long Red radishes, popular in northern beer halls; in 1921 a bumper crop filled more than 300 trainloads. When button radishes replaced the Long Red, the town turned toward tourism. Hurricane Katrina struck on August 29, 2005, destroying almost every building within about 1,600 feet of the shore.
