In this alphabetic list of ancient Creek towns and villages I have
included all the names of inhabited places which I have found recorded
before the emigration of the people to the Indian Territory. The
description of their sites is chiefly taken from Hawkins' "_Sketch_,"
one of the most instructive books which we possess on the Creeks in
their earlier homes. Some of these town names are still existing in
Alabama and Georgia, although the site has not unfrequently changed. I
have interspersed into the list a few names of the larger rivers. The
etymologies added to the names contain the opinions of the Creek
delegates visiting Washington every year, and they seldom differed
among each other on any name. The local names are written according to
my scientific system of phonetics, the only change introduced being
that of the palatal _tch_ for _ch_.
