Tunica County was established February 9, 1836, and is one of the twelve counties formed in that year from the Chickasaw Indian cession of 1832. It was named for the Tunica Indian tribe, the word meaning "the people." As originally established, Tunica County embraced an area of about 19 townships, or 684 square miles, and its limits were defined. In 1873 it surrendered a part of its territory to Tate, and other portion in 1877 to Quitman, which reduced its area to 418 square miles. To read the remainder of
