How Came the Name
1t is natural that some interest
should attach to the meaning and
Jrigin of the Creek Indian word "rul- |
sa." II is not descriptive That Is, !
II does not mean any animal or
stream. etc. 1t is simply the name of
a former Creek clan. Anciently, clans !
or secret societies existed among the |
Creek Indians out of which, in the /
march Of progress, constitutional
form OF government was framed. and |
these clans sent their representatives.
to the councils Of the Greeks. There /
was time when this oligarchlc gov
ernment was very strongly established |
among the Creeks, or Muscosees. be- |
cause the members of clans were not
allowed TO lntcrmarry and representa- |
tives We're hereditary. However, upon |
the adoption of the constitution In |
1857 and the Inauguration of the |
House of Kings and Warriors an cleo |
tive form of government succeeded the |
hereditary custom. The Creek Ma !
ton was divided into forty-seven n +,
towns or communities, each OF
which selected a member as Town

River. on the south is found the fer
tile valley of this river and on the

The soil within the city and over
larGe portion of the county consists
OF a chocolate colored sandy loan,
