Immediately on both sides of the
Black Warrior was declared a neutral
hunting ground.
Coming now within the historic era,
il is stated that about the year 1900,
by an agreement between the Chloe
taws and the Creeks, the former tribe
was permitted to establish a settle
ment and trading post at the falls Of
the Black Warrior, which is the site
Of the present city of Tuscaloosa.
This was a commercial project, a
primitive plan of cooperation, de-
signed to build up an inland trade for
the United States Supply Store at
st. Stephens on the Tombigbee. The
Greeks, proving undesirable neighbors
and unreliable business associates
Pushmataha the intrepid war chief o.
the Choctaws, marched over with his
warriors, dispersed the settlers, cap
tured the village and reduced it tc
ashes, The spot remained abandoned
until 1916, when it was occupied by
, Emanuel York and John Barton, OF
Tennessee. AT the first session of tn,
Alabama Territorial Legislature, a
st. Stephens in 1878, the county o.
Tuscaloosa was established and late
its present county site became thu
capitol Of the state.
On March 3, 1877 Congress granted
to members Of the Court Of Napoleon
who by decree had been banishe'
from France, four townships of land
to be selected by them in the Territor.
