Choctaw County was established in 1847.  The current courthouse in Butler is Choctaw County’s second courthouse – built 1906 and occupied in 1907. There were additions to the courthouse in 1956 and 1965.  It was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks & Heritage in 1997.  A Military Memorial Walkway was dedicated in 1997, as part of Choctaw’s 150th birthday observances.  There is a Confederate statue, located in front of the courthouse.  It was made in Italy and erected in 1936 by UDC Ruffin Draqoons Chapter, but not dedicated until 1937.
