Nashoba County, Indian Territory

[2] Although the act of legislation establishing Nashoba County does not reference it, the southern border appears to have been drawn to be coextensive with the Seven Devils Mountains.

Its county seat was Nashoba Court House, a meeting ground which is no longer extant.

[4] The county served as an election district for members of the National Council, and as a unit of local administration.

Constitutional officers, all of whom served for two-year terms and were elected by the voters, included the county judge, sheriff, and a ranger.

The sheriff collected taxes, monitored unlawful intrusion by intruders (usually white Americans from the United States), and conducted the census.

The Choctaw Nation’s counties had been logically designed for their purposes, but convention members concluded these could not exist as economically viable political subdivisions.
