quote:Bless his heart. Starkville is not even an Indian word. He borrowed/stole the saying from someone that said - "Oktibbeha is an Indian word for trailer park". For you idiots that don't know "come here from sickem", Oktibbeha is the county within which the metropolis of Starkville lies.
Skip Bertman said it's an old indian word for "trailer park"
So I believe him over whatever that google thing is.

A mill southwest of town provided clapboards which gave the town its original name, Boardtown. In 1835, Boardtown was established as the county seat of Oktibbeha County and its name was changed to Starkville in honor of Revolutionary War hero General John Stark.
Interesting history. The town has been continuously occupied for 2,100 years.
