French Camp Louis Leflore first traded with Choctaw Indians at a bluff now part of Jackson Mississippi. About 1812, he established his stand 900 feet to the northeast on the Natchez Trace. Because of the storekeepers nationality, the area was called French Camp, a name retained by the present village. Leflore married a Choctaw woman. The famous sone, who changed his name to Greenwood Leflore became a Choctaw chief and a Mississippi State Senator. For him are named the city of Greenwood and a county of Leflore.
