Checotah, Administrative town in McIntosh County, United States.
Checotah is a town in McIntosh County, Oklahoma, located where Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 69 meet. The area is shaped by tree-covered land and sits near Eufaula Lake, which adds water and natural surroundings to the landscape.
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad built a railhead in 1872, which led to the town's founding and made it a transportation hub. The Creek Nation granted it an official charter in 1893, securing its political standing.

Nearby sits a significant Civil War battlefield that reflects the nation's history during that period. This location draws those interested in learning more about the area's wartime past.
