The road to the left, running to Canton, Mississippi, was opened in 1834 and named for Choctaw Chief Ofahoma, or Red Dog. Like other Choctaw, he had accepted the way of his European neighbors and had become a farmer. Chief Ofahoma signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek on September 27, 1830, by which the tribe agreed to leave this area and move to Oklahoma. Nearby is the city of Ofahoma.
