Brief History
The tale of King Scott and Queen Rosalie goes way back before Long Beach even sprouted along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Mardi Gras parties have been the talk of European history, getting tied to the pre-Ash Wednesday bashes since Pope Gregory shook up the calendar in the year 600. Fast forward to Mardi Gras Day in 1699, when French explorer Iberville pitched camp near the mouth of the Mississippi River and christened the spot Point du Mardi Gras. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away in 1704, the party kicked off in Mobile, Alabama.
