History

Formed in 1874 from Chickasaw County, Choctaw County and Montgomery County

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

The county was originally called Sumner when created from Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Montgomery Counties in 1874. In 1875, Sumner gained land from Chickasaw and Oktibbeha Counties while exchanging with Choctaw and losing to Montgomery. On January 30, 1882, Sumner was renamed Webster.
