Abbeville is a town in Lafayette County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 423 at the 2000 census.

History

Abbeville was originally settled by pioneers from Abbeville, South Carolina in the 1830s. They lived in apparent peace with the local Chickasaw Indians, whose Chief Toby Tubby owned and operated a ferry along the Memphis-Oxford trade route.

During the American Civil War, Abbeville was almost completely destroyed in the Vicksburg Campaign.

Abbeville post office was established September 28, 1843, with John B. Davis as first postmaster. [ Gallagher, John S. and Patera, Alan H. (1996) "Mississippi Post Offices", p. 91. Lake Grove, Oregon: The Depot, ISBN 0-943645-35-2]
