Kiln
is a small community that is part of the Gulfport-Biloxi metropolitan area on the southern Gulf Coast of Mississippi. As of the 2010 census, the population was 2,238. Mississippi Highway 43 is the main route through Kiln, connecting Interstate 10 to places further south. The town of Kiln got its name from the many kilns that were once found in the area serving the busy timber industry. During this time, Kiln was home to a hotel, a hospital, a lumber company and many timber mills. Local folklore includes references to the Kiln being a source of sought after moonshine during the Prohibition era. Stories exist about gangster Al Capone moving "Kiln Lightning" from this area and taking it to Chicago, where it was known by name. Things to do in the Kiln area include all kinds of water activities, such as swimming, fishing, crabbing, sailing, windsurfing and jet skiing. Over 20 golf courses are also located in the area. For non-water related activities, there are lots of museums, galleries, antique shops and specialty shops to explore. In addition, some of the very best restaurants featuring Cajun seafood this side of the Mississippi River can be found in the Kiln area and nearby Biloxi-Gulfport.
