Gillsburg, also spelled as Gillsburgh, is an unincorporated community in Amite County, Mississippi, United States.[1] The community is part of the McComb, Mississippi Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Gillsburg was the location of the October 20, 1977 plane crash that killed three members of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd. A rental plane carrying the band between shows from Greenville, South Carolina, to LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was low on fuel and crashed in a swamp in Gillsburg.[2] The crash killed singer/songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, vocalist Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot William Gray. The other band members were seriously injured in the crash.

Gillsburg was home to the Wall family, one of the last black families to be held in peonage in the United States.[3]

A post office operated under the name Gillsburgh from 1879 to 1892 and under the name Gillsburg from 1892 to 1915.[4]

Tornadoes

Gillsburg has been struck by two tornadoes rated F3/EF3 in intensity. The first of these (possibly a tornado family) tracked from Gloster and into parts of Gillsburg on April 6, 1935, killing 14 and injuring 220.[5] The second struck on December 13, 1977, injuring two, though this tornado was rated F2 by Grazulis.[6]
