Chickasaw County is located in the north-central portion of Mississippi and was established February 9, 1836. Chickasaw County is named for the Chickasaw Native American Tribe. The name Chickasaw is derrived from chikasha (meaning rebellion), probably referring to the separation of the nation from the Creeks and Choctaws.
The county seats are Houston and Okalona. Other Chickasaw County communities include: New Houlka, Woodland, Buena Vista, Egypt, McCondy, Pyland, Sparta, Thorn, Trebloc, Van Vleet. In it's first census in 1840 there were 2,955 residents listed. In the last federal census in 2000 the population was 19,440.
