About Joseph Simon Simon de La Pointe
Between 1713 and 1717, Joseph Simon de la Pointe, an Admiral in Bienville's fleet, was granted land by the French Governor Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac to build a residence in Pascagoula. The land was used predominantly as an indigo and wax myrtle plantation - the indigo to produce purple dye, the wax myrtle berries for candlemaking. The fort was constructed of hewn timbers, shell lime, and shells on the shore of Lake Catahoula near present-day Pascagoula, Mississippi. Hugo Ernestus Krebs became the owner of the land on which the fort was located in the 1730s and the fort was renamed Fort Krebs and the lake became Krebs Lake.
