Attala County

County History
Attala
County was established on the 23d of December, 1833, and was one of the
sixteen counties carved from the Choctaw cession of 1830. The name is
derived from the heroine (Atala) of an Indian romance written by
Chateaubriand. As Attala has the distinction of retaining its original
boundaries. The Choctaw boundary line of 1820 (treaty of Doak’s Stand)
runs through the extreme southwestern corner of the county. Kosciusko is
the largest town and the county seat of Attala County. It is also the
birthplace of Oprah Winfrey. Other cities and towns include Ethel,
McCool and Sallis. The Attala County Court House has burned on three
separate occasions. The first fire on 28 Jul 1858 was the most
devastating as all records were destroyed. For this reason, no records
exist prior to August 1858. The second fire was in Jul 1860 and
although the records on hand were somewhat meager, none were lost. The
third fire occurred on 26 Jul 1896 and some records were lost including
the county marriage records. As of 2000, Attala's population was 19,661.
It is bordered by Montgomery County (north),
Choctaw County (northeast), Winston County
(east), Leake County (south),
Madison County (southwest),
Holmes County (west) and
Carroll County (northwest).
