Long Beach
Long Beach has been called the “Friendly City” since its incorporation in 1905. Known for its excellent school system and low crime rate, Long Beach is a great place to live and raise children. Its close proximity to Gulfport and Biloxi makes entertainment options and business needs easily accessible.
The Long Beach Industrial Park (LBIP) has been a mainstay in the local economy since the 1960’s and has attracted high-tech manufacturers such as Bay Technical Associates and Triton.
Long Beach is also home to the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Gulf Coast, a four-year university with a campus that overlooks the beach.
