History
By Anthony Guillory

Whiskey Chitto Creek crosses the northeastern boundary of Beauregard Parish and intersects with Six-Mile Creek.. The name was recorded by LaTourette on his map in 1846 as B. Whiskey Chitto. Whiskey Chitto Creek is a phonetic rendering of the Choctaw name for the creek. In Louisiana Place-Names of Indian Origin by William Reed, says that the name means "Big Cane Creek." Whiskey is the phonetic rendering of the Choctaw "nski" or "canebrake." Chit to mean "large."
