Fort Towson Summary

History

Fort Towson is a small town located in Choctaw County, Oklahoma. It was established in 1824 as a trading post and military outpost by the United States Army. The town was named after General Nathan Towson, a hero of the War of 1812. The fort was used to protect the Choctaw Nation from hostile Native American tribes and to provide a trading post for settlers.
In 1832, the Choctaw Nation signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which ceded their lands in Mississippi to the United States. As part of the treaty, the Choctaw were given the right to establish a new homeland in the Indian Territory, which is now Oklahoma. The Choctaw Nation chose Fort Towson as their new capital and the town quickly grew.
In 1838, the Choctaw Nation established a school at Fort Towson. The school was the first of its kind in the Indian Territory and was the first school to teach in the Choctaw language. The school was later renamed the Fort Towson Academy and it is still in operation today.
In 1855, the Choctaw Nation was forced to sign the Treaty of Doaksville, which ceded their lands in the Indian Territory to the United States. As part of the treaty, the Choctaw were given the right to remain in the Indian Territory and to establish a new homeland in Oklahoma. The Choctaw Nation chose Fort Towson as their new capital and the town quickly grew.
In 1861, the Civil War began and Fort Towson was used as a Confederate stronghold. The fort was attacked by Union forces in 1863 and was eventually captured. After the war, the town was rebuilt and the fort was abandoned.
In the late 19th century, Fort Towson became a center for the cattle industry. The town was also home to several cotton plantations. In the early 20th century, the town began to decline as the cattle industry moved west and the cotton industry declined.
