History

Formed in 1833 from Lowndes County, Madison County, Monroe County and Holmes County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Choctaw County was created December 23, 1833, from Lowndes, Madison, Monroe, and Non-County Area 11 attached to Holmes, with Non-County Area 13 created from Monroe and attached to Choctaw. In 1836, Choctaw lost Non-County Area 13 to the creation of Chickasaw County, and lost small areas to Chickasaw again in 1854. Between 1870 and 1875, Choctaw lost territory to the creation of Grenada and Montgomery counties, gained from Winston and Montgomery, and exchanged areas with Webster County.
