Choctaw County, Administrative division in central Mississippi, United States
Choctaw County encompasses 420 square miles of land with the Big Black River forming its northern border in central Mississippi.
Founded in 1833, the county received its name from the Choctaw Native Americans who inhabited the territory before their forced relocation westward.
The county maintained seventy-three churches in 1860, including thirty-six Baptist and twenty-seven Methodist congregations, representing the highest number in Mississippi.
The Choctaw County School District manages education through its high school and elementary facilities, while French Camp Academy provides private schooling.
The Mississippi Manufacturing Company, established in 1848 within the county borders, ranked among Mississippi's first substantial textile production facilities.
