Atahachi
Atahachi was a town of the chief Tuskaloosa in the Alabama river country. In October 1540 Hernando de Soto's expedition reached the town after crossing the Tallapoosa. Tuskaloosa received the Spaniards, who demanded porters and women as they travelled through his lands. The chief accompanied them onward, and they left Atahachi for Piachi and then Mabila. There, their confrontation with Tuskaloosa's warriors ended in a devastating battle and the burning of the fortified town.
