North of the thick pine and oak forests of the Ouachitas Mountains; in the foothills beyond the Kiamichi and the Winding Stair Mountains; two trails crossed in the rolling valley nestled between the Shawnee Hills and the Sans Bois Mountains. In the early 1800s; that valley became the home of the Mississippi Choctaw tribe; part of the U.S.-designated Indian Territory. When the railroad boom of the late 1800s occurred; the tracks followed the same cattle trails and pioneer roads; creating a transportation hub at the point where rail lines intersected; a place that later became the county seat of Pittsburg County.
