Consha

Consha, also written Concha or Coosha, was a Choctaw settlement among the headwaters of the Chickasawhay River. Its name was shared with a group of towns in the eastern division of the Choctaw country. Gardens of maize lay among the hamlets, and peach and plum trees grew around the settlement. The town appeared as Concha on French maps in the 1730s. Pushmataha, remembered as a Choctaw leader and diplomat, served for a time as chief of the Coosha towns.
