Founded 1921 by Colonel J. C. Hardy Gulf Park
College provided unique educational experiences
for young women at the secondary and junior
college level. The college enjoyed fifty years of
operation as an educational institution filled with
grace, culture, charm and tradition. It operated
successfully until 1971 when the sagging economy,
damage from Hurricane Camille, and the upswing
of low cost community colleges forced it to close.
The University of Southern Mississippi
began operation on the campus in 1972. Today
Southern Miss offers undergraduate and graduate
programs at this site.
