"Cut from Washington, Arkansas to Fort Towson in 1831, for removal of Choctaws from Mississippi became known as "Choctaw Trail of Tears" after thousands of suffering Indians used it to reach new land. Road served as a major east-west artery for Choctaw Nation until the early 1900s. Important early Choctaw settlements on the road were Harris Mill, Eagletown, Luftaka, Wheelock, and Cedar Creek.
