Bigbee (also known as Johnsons Mill[1]) is an unincorporated community in Monroe County, Mississippi.

Bigbee derives its name from shortening and alteration of the nearby East Fork Tombigbee River.

[3] In 1892, George and Frank Houston built a sawmill in Bigbee at the junction of the Tombigbee River and the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway.

[5] The sawmill allowed Bigbee to be the second community in the county with electric lights and also operated a hotel and commissary.
