Bigbee (also known as Johnsons Mill) is an unincorporated community in Monroe County, Mississippi. Bigbee is located northwest of Amory on Mississippi Highway 6 close to its intersection with Mississippi Highway 371.
Bigbee derives its name from shortening and alteration of the nearby East Fork Tombigbee River.[1]
Bigbee is located along the BNSF Railway and in 1910 had two general stores and a sawmill.[2]
In 1892, George and Frank Houston built a sawmill in Bigbee at the junction of the Tombigbee River and the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. The sawmill was in operation until 1903.[3] The Houston Brothers' sawmill in Bigbee was one of the largest in Monroe County.[4] The sawmill allowed Bigbee to be the second community in the county with electric lights and also operated a hotel and commissary.[5]
In 1906, Bigbee had an estimated population of 250.[4]
Bigbee is served by the Bigbee Community Center.[6]
A post office operated under the name Bigbee from 1890 to 1912.[7]
