Choctaw
Choctaw County was created from land formerly within the Choctaw Nation, and the town of Pushmataha is named for a noted Choctaw chief. Buildings from the county’s early years are featured at Broadhead Memorial Park in Needham. The Choctaw County Courthouse, in Butler, is on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. The Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge, located in the county along the Tombigbee River, was created to provide habitat for nesting wood ducks and to serve as a wintering area for migratory waterfowl.
