I'm from Louisiana, but spent most of my young years in Brandon, MS, so I claim it.
What's now Centenary College in Shreveport was established in Clinton, MS, but was soon relocated to Brandon Springs, MS, around 1840. I spent a long time in Brandon and never heard of a Brandon Springs, and with good reason because it's now in the woods. Google maps will pull it up and it's in the middle of nowhere. Not even any close roads.
Anyway, Centenary moved to Jackson, LA, soon after that, and of course eventually moved to Shreveport.

Some of the buildings are still in Jackson and are owned by the state and open as a museum. Fine old buildings.
