The primary slave markets in Natchez were located at the "Fork of the Road" about a mile east of downtown Natchez. Although no remnants of the slave markets remain, the roads still fork at the site. Slave auctions also took place at the Natchez Under-the-Hill and on the public streest in downtown Natchez (until the 1830's), but most of the commercial marketing of slaves centered on this location. By the 1830's the markets at the "Fork of the Road" in Natchez and the markets at Algiers in New Orleans were the two busiest slave markets in the entire south.
