This local area was once a part of the mighty Choctaw Nation. The Choctaw Indians relinquished when they signed The Treaty of Commissioner's Creek in 1802. Among the white men who signed this treaty were David Hunt and Daniel Burnet. The first white settlement in what was to become Claiborne County was near Petit Gulf just north of the town of Rodney. This hunting settlement was established in 1729.
The first permanent settlement came in 1775 and in 1802 the county was formed and named for Gov. W.C.C. Claiborne, Governor of the territory. It was the third county formed in the State. Gibson's Landing was chartered March 12, 1805, as county seat. Before 1850 there were about 23 private schools in Claiborne County and 4 colleges for women and one for men.
