Shipman (also known as Brushy) is an unincorporated community in George County, Mississippi. Prior to the creation of George County, Shipman was located in Jackson County.[2] The community was originally called Brushy, but the name was changed to Shipman in 1907.[3] Shipman is likely named for William A. Shipman, who moved to the community from Georgia and operated a sawmill in the area.[4]
Shipman was once a depot on the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The community was once home to three general stores, four turpentine distilleries, and two sawmills.[3]
A post office operated under the name Brushy from 1896 to 1906 and under the name Shipman from 1906 to 1941.[5]
