Created by the Territorial Legislature in 1818 from lands ceded by Cherokee and Chickasaw Indians, the county was named for U.S. Navy hero of the War of 1812 Capt. James Lawrence, who was fatally wounded and whose famous command was "Don't Give Up The Ship." Since 1820, the county seat has been at Mouton, which was named for a hero of the Creek Indian War of 1813-14.
