And some people claim that "Chattanooga" means "difficulty," a word that expressed the Indian's description of the task the river encounters in flowing around Moccasin Bend.
Still there were other people who claimed that Chattanooga is a Choctaw word meaning "end of the Choctaw possessions." And "Draw-fish-out-of-the-water" found favor with some students of history. However, Joshua Ross, a nephew of the chief, declared that the word was taken from the Creek Indian word "Chat-to-to-noog-gee" which means "rock rising to a point," a fitting description of Lookout Mountain. | | | Major Tourist Attraction: | | Ruby Falls/ Lookout Mountain Caverns | | | Top Employers: | Hamilton County Department of Education,
