Sumter County was
established on December 18, 1832. From 1797 to
1832, Sumter County was part of the Choctaw
Nation, which was made up of four main villages.
The first settlers in Sumter County were French
explorers who had come north from Mobile. They
built and settled at Fort Tombecbee, near the
modern-day town of Epes. In 1830, with the
Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, the Choctaw
Indians ceded the land that is now Sumter County
to the government
Its name is in honor of
General Thomas Sumter, of South
Carolina.
Its county seat is
Livingston.
