History
The name Tishabee is derived from the Choctaw words tishu, meaning "assistant (to the chief)" and abi, meaning "killer". The community was first settled in 1817 by Richard Bragg, who also developed Bragg's Bluff. Bragg's Bluff was located 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Tishabee on the banks of the Tombigbee River. A post office operated under the name Tishabee from 1883 to 1901.
