Noxubee County, Mississippi
Noxubee County's name is actually derived from the Choctaw word nakshobi which means to stink. Well it's a unique name non-the-less and is hasn't held this county back. Noxubee County one of twenty-six counties that was derived from the last great Indian cession east of the Mississippi river. September 27, 1830 the United States entered into a treaty with the Choctaws and 500 whites met at the Choctaw Council Grounds to agree to the terms of the Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty. Three years later, in 1833 Noxubee was authorized by the State Legislature.
In the 1850's the population skyrocketed and wealth was on the rise. Using the river and the railroads, Noxubee County built homes, schools, and churches which supported the over 6,000 people who moved into the region. All this and more leads us to the modern day Noxubee County.
