The beautiful name of the seat OF
justice Of Mahaska county was orig,
inally spelled Tuscaloosa. The name
is associated in Indian history with
a Creek princess. The Seminoles had
made war upon the Creeks and de
stroyed their entire body Of warriors
and taken captive their families,
Among these prisoners was an at
tractive and beautiful princess who
finally became the wife of Osceola, a
chief OF the Seminoles, and he gave
her the name of Tuscaloosa, meaning
The Last of the Beautiful"
The three commissioners recon.
mended the name Ouskaloosa for the
new county seat. But owing to a diff
ference Of opinion on the part Of the
citizens of the county, they left the
name Of the new town to b settled
by the county commissioners. Quite
a number of persons preferred the
name Mahaska for the proposed town.
The county commissioners were A.
S. Nichols. Robert Curry and Wilson
Stanley. At their first meeting, May
IA. 1914, WIN. d. Garfield, dIsliking

izing the organization of Mahasks
county, appointed three impartial
commissioners from outside Of its
territory to visit the new county in
the spring of 1874 and decide the
question of locating the county seat
This court was composed Of Jesse
Williams, of Johnson county, Eben
ezer Perkins, of Washington county
and Thomas Henderson, Of Keokub
county. These gentlemen we're each
paid at the rate of two dollars pei
day for their services. Three loca
tions claimed the attention Of the
commissioners.
First, the geographical center OF
the county, about two and one-hali
miles north Of Oskaloosa. 1t was
rather an inviting location, only a lit
tie north of the ridge marking the di
vide between the Des Moines and the
Skunk rivers.
Second, Auburn,a village which had
been laid out at the head Of Six Mile
bottom, which extenos six miles along
the river, some miles beyond where
Beacon is now located. This village
had been plated a short time before
in hope of securing the county seat.
The advocates OF this site were firm
IN the belief that the lack of timber
on the open prairies would prevent
them from being settled for several
generations and that this location
near the river which was then the
only highway of the county would be
the center Of population in the
county. srove,
Third, The Narrows, meaning the
narrowest point in the ridge forming
the watershed between the two riv.
ers. The timber from each stream
almost Joined at this point and left
only this elevated ridge uniting the
two prairies, one southeast and the
other northwest. Before the prairies
were settled the traveller could see
this high ridge for fifteen or twenty
miles. This was a great highway OF
fAavgf Between the Mississippi river
and Fort Des Moines and on to the
far west. General Fremont came
over this route some time in the later
forties, when making one of his trans
continental tours. There was at that
time two cabins within the limits Of
the original city plat. One was the
residence of Perry Crossman and
wife and Mrs. Cheeseman's mother,
Mrs. Jones, with her two sons,
George w. and John w. Jones, and
daughter Sarah, now Mrs. McWil-
liams, who Is still a resident of Oska-
loosa. The commissioners were en-
tertained at the Crossman-Jones
home and when they had carefully ex-
amined the three places desiring the
county seat they returned to this
cabin to compare notes and announce
their decision. This decision bears
date Of May IL, 1874, q copy of which
Is as follows: .
