Leflore County, Mississippi was created in 1871 from Carroll,
Sunflower and Tallahatchie counties and is the namesake of
Greenwood Leflore. Leflore was a Choctaw chief and a signer of
the Treaty of 1830, in which the Choctaw Indians sold all their
lands east of the Mississippi River. After the sale, many
Choctaws migrated to present day Oklahoma, but Leflore stayed
and became a politician and wealthy planter.
The county is located within the state's delta region where
cotton and catfish are plentiful. Mississippi is third behind
California and Texas in cotton production, but 80% of all
catfish produced in the United States come from the Mississippi
delta. Greenwood, once called Williams Landing, is the county
seat of Leflore.
Greenwood Leflore (1800-1865), one of the district chiefs of the
Choctaw Nation, had promoted assimilation and, after the State
of Mississippi extended its authority over the Choctaw Nation,
promoted removal. He was influential in negotiation of the
Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, whereby the Choctaws agreed to
give up their land in Mississippi and remove west of the
Mississippi River. During removal, he served as a conductor for
parties of Choctaws moving to the West, but he lost his
influence with the Choctaws because of his pro-removal stand.
Thus he chose to take remain in Mississippi on the land
allotment he received under the treaty. He became a planter and
entrepreneur and served in the Mississippi State Senate from
1841 to 1844. Source: Dumas Malone, ed., Dictionary of American
Biography (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1933), 11:
143-144.
