The county was named after Choctaw Chief Pushmataha (Push-ma-ta-ha) meaning "Sprout Completed." Born in 1764, Pushmataha was known in the Southwest as an outstanding individual and as a warrior. He knew very little of the parentage tradition stating he was left an orphan at an early age. Pushmataha was said to be one of nature's nobility, a man who would have adorned any society, a warrior of great distinction, wise in council and eloquent in an extraordinary degree.
