Homochitto River

The Homochitto River (pronounced "ho-muh-CHIT-uh") is a river in the U.S. State of Mississippi. It flows from its source in southwest Mississippi for about 90 miles (145 km) west and south, emptying into the Mississippi River between Natchez and Woodville.
According to one source, Homochitto is a Choctaw name likely meaning "big red" and was described in the "New York Gazette" in 1773 by an anonymous writer who was encouraging settlement of British West Florida.
