White Bluff is composed of limestone, or “Selma chalk,” which abounds in fossils. Eighteenth-century French explorers and cartographers called it “Ecor Blanc.” It was also named “Chickasaw Gallery” because early Indian inhabitants harassed boats from here. In 1817 it was the landing site of Bonapartist exiles who established the “Vine and Olive Colony.”
