Tuscahoma (Red Warrior)
Before 1782, a temporary Choctaw camp – Batcha Chukka (Ridge House) – was near here. Tuscahoma was the crossing point on the Tombigbee River for Choctaw Indians. It was near this site that Chief Pushmataha signed a trade treaty with the U. S. Government. By 1810, settlers were in the village of Mount Sterling, a few miles west of here. Tuscahoma Landing also was an important stopping point during the steamboat era.
