County History

Choctaw County was organized on December 23, 1833. The name comes from the Indian word Chahta, which means "separation," referring to the separation of the Choctaws from the Chickasaws. Choctaw County was carved from the territory ceded by the Choctaw nation under the treaty of Dancing Rabbit in 1830. Originally, its territory was almost square in shape, and more than twice as large as at present. In 1870, parts of Choctaw were taken to form Grenada, and were added to Montgomery and Webster in 1871 and 1874. In the latter year part of Winston was annexed to Choctaw County. Chester was the first county seat, but suffered several fires, with the last in 1874. No records from that period extant As of 2000, the population is 9,758. Its county seat is Ackerman. Other towns include French Camp, Mathiston and Weir. Choctaw County is bordered by Webster County (north), Oktibbeha County (east), Winston County (southeast), Attala County (southwest) and Montgomery County (west).
