Official Website

Neshoba was founded in 1833 and was named after a Choctaw chief, whose name in the Choctaw language meant "wolf".

Descendants of the Choctaw who remained in the state after the Indian Removal in the 1830s continue to identify as Choctaw. They live in relatively distinct communities and reorganized in the 1930s, gaining federal recognition as the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. In the 1970s, eighty percent of their people continued to speak Choctaw.
