Kienstra (also Kienstra Store) is a ghost town located in Adams County, Mississippi, United States.[1] South of the town was Kienstra Landing, located on the Mississippi River.[2]
The community was situated on a barren peninsula called "Jackson Point", at a bend in the river called "Palmetto Bend", named for the palmetto plant which grew abundantly in the hardwood swamps across the river in Louisiana.[3]
Kienstra had a post office from 1871 to 1957.[4][5] The Morrisana Plantation was located at Kienstra.[6] North of the town, midway to Arnot, was the Kienstra School.[7] The "Kienstra Store Light" was a navigation beacon on the river, located near the landing as early as 1879.[8]
In 1900, Kienstra had a population of 35.[4]
