Located on the east bank of the [[Yazoo River]], Satartia was once a thriving river port, and is one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Yazoo County.<ref name="McElvaine">{{cite book | last = McElvaine | first = Robert S. | title = Mississippi: The WPA Guide to the Magnolia State | publisher = University Press of Mississippi | date = 1988 | isbn = 9781604732894 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=C4VQ8viRWvYC&pg=PP1}}</ref>

==History==
Satartia is a [[Choctaw]] word meaning "pumpkin place",<ref>{{cite book|last=Baca|first=Keith A.|title=Native American Place Names in Mississippi|url=https://epdf.pub/native-american-place-names-in-mississippi.html|year=2007|publisher=University Press of Mississippi|isbn=978-1-60473-483-6|page=91}}</ref> likely due to the small gourds that grow in the area. In the early 1800s, Satartia was a busy shipping point from which cotton was transported by steamboat to [[New Orleans]] along the Yazoo River.<ref name="McElvaine"/>

During the Civil War, [[Ulysses S. Grant|General Grant]] sailed a gunboat from [[Vicksburg, Mississippi|Vicksburg]] and captured the village; the Wilson House on Plum Street was used as his headquarters during the occupation.<ref name="McElvaine"/> The war also produced the "Satartia Rifles", of the [[12th Mississippi Infantry Regiment]], a well-regarded Confederate company and recruitment group.<ref>{{cite web|title=12th Mississippi Infantry|publisher = Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans|url=http://www.mississippiscv.org/MS_Units/12th_MS_Inf.htm|access-date=October 21, 2017}}</ref>

In February 2020, a pressurized pipeline owned by [[Denbury Resources]] carrying liquid [[carbon dioxide]] and [[hydrogen sulfide]] ruptured "less than half a mile" from Satartia.<ref name="HP">{{cite web |author=Dan Zegart |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gassing-satartia-mississippi-co2-pipeline_n_60ddea9fe4b0ddef8b0ddc8f |title=The Gassing of Satartia |publisher=[[HuffPost]] |date=August 26, 2021 }}</ref> First responders evacuated Satartia's 42 residents, and approximately 250 others living near Satartia.<ref name="HP"/> In 2022, the [[Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration]] recommended a civil penalty of $3,866,734 against Denbury Resources.<ref name="pmhsa0522">{{Cite web |date=May 26, 2022 |title=PHMSA Notice of Proposed Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty and Proposed Compliance Order to Denbury Gulf Coast Pipeline |url=https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/sites/phmsa.dot.gov/files/2022-05/42022017NOPV_PCO%20PCP_0526022_%2820-176125%29%20-%20Denbury%20Pipeline.pdf}}</ref>
