Victoria is a ghost town in Bolivar County, Mississippi, United States.
Victoria was a historic port on the Mississippi River, located south of Lake Concordia, approximately 3.8 mi (6.1 km) west of Gunnison.
A bend in the Mississippi River at the location of the settlement was named "Victoria Bend", and continues to be known thus. Nothing remains of the settlement, as "changes in the river's course doomed the village to extinction".[1]
