Note the location of the Chickasaw Towns, Charlestown (present day Charleston, South Carolina), the principal trading hub for English trade with the Chickasaw through the mid 1760s, New Orleans, the colonial capital of French colony of Louisiana after 1718, and Mobile the pre 1718 capital of French Louisiana and the site of most Indian conferences throughout the history of French Louisiana.
