1965
Belzoni, Mississippi

Delta planters looking for something to do with heavy buckshot soil that cotton had exhausted flooded it and raised catfish instead, and Mississippi ended up producing most of the farm-raised catfish in the country. Belzoni calls itself the catfish capital of the world and has fibreglass catfish on its street corners to prove it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
