Biloxi, as of the 2000 census, had a population of just over 50,000 and is the co-county seat of Harrison County – it shares the seat with Gulfport, the somewhat larger city in the Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula Metropolitan Combined Statistical Area. Before Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, the city was the third largest in the state of Mississippi; however, because of the damage sustained during the storm, Hattiesburg now holds that title.

The city was first founded around the turn of the 18th century, but due to many different exchanges of the Louisiana Territory, never really got off the ground. After ownership was settled in 1803, the city began to grow, changing from a small trading outpost to a full-on town, but the city stayed small until the construction of Kessler Air Force Base in the city during World War II. Population rise has slowed down in recent years, and urban renewal and new city planning techniques have turned Biloxi into a great place to live.

The city lies in a humid subtropical climate, which is characterized by long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Typically temperatures during the summer months hover around 90 degrees, with lows dipping around 70; in the winter, however, the temperature rarely exceeds 60 degrees, while lows dip down to around 38.
