== History ==
Shortly before the War of 1812, David Choate, a [[French people|French]] trader along with his wife, a [[Choctaw]], opened the Choate Stand, an inn along the [[Natchez Trace]]. They chose a location near the intersection of the trace and a cross path that led to the [[Muscogee|Creek Indian Nation]], where there was a natural spring to provide fresh water, at the approximate location of the current town square. Journals from the war of 1812 indicate that [[Andrew Jackson]] received supplies at Choate Stand. In 1850, the Choate family was forcibly removed to [[Indian Territory]] in [[Oklahoma]] by the [[Indian Removal Act]], signed by [[Andrew Jackson]]. In 2017 Kosciusko inaugurated an annual ”Return to Redbud Springs Festival” to honor this history.<ref name=”Cathey”>{{cite web |last1=Cathey |first1=Mike |title=Choate family — Natchez Trace to Choate Prairie, Indian Territory |url=https://www.mcalesternews.com/opinion/columns/choate-family—-natchez-trace-to-choate-prairie-indian-territory/article_f5e44e67-2c2a-5cfa-a003-50c0684c4fbb.html |publisher=McAlester News-Capital |access-date=10 August 2021 |date=July 7, 2019}}</ref>
