When the Choctaws were removed to I.T., some were settled in the region just south of the AR river.
They were paid their allotments in 'Gold coin', it is said a keg of Gold was delivered by the Government, & placed on the front porch of their meeting place, & it would set there all night, & never be bothered.
Their name for a 'piece of money' was Iskuli, so the place was named (Skullyville), or money town.
There isn't much left of the town now, only the Choctaw cemetary.
Each year there is a 'procession' to remember the 'Trail of Tears'.
