History
According to a steamboat man named Samuel Clement, after the Battle of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson took from the U.S. armory two cannons that had been used at the Battle of Saratoga and sent one to Woodville and one to Natchez. In 1831 there was a plan to build a railroad from Woodville to St. Francisville at Bayou Sara under the title of West Feliciana Railroad Company.
Woodville Historic District, encompassing many of the older buildings in the urban center, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
