The Mississippi Blues Trail marker in Natchez commemorates the city's documented blues history, including the Under-the-Hill juke joint and dance hall culture that made Natchez a significant node on the blues geography of the lower Mississippi River. Natchez's position as a river-trade city created the conditions — transient workers, African American social spaces, Saturday night commerce — that generated blues culture throughout the Delta corridor.
