Napoleon is an unincorporated community located on the Pearl River in Hancock County, Mississippi, United States.
A post office operated under the name Napoleon from 1847 to 1905.[1] After the post office closed, mail was routed to the post office in Huxford.[2]
Napoleon was once home to a turpentine and camphine distillery.[3]
Much of the community was abandoned after the creation of the Stennis Space Center.[4]
