Sugartown was the name of at least three Cherokee towns. In Cherokee, the name was Kulsetsiyi (Syllabary:ᎫᎳᏎᏥᏱ), meaning "honey-locust place" from "kulsetsi" (honey-locust) and "yi" (locative).

This Sugartown was near the principal "Middle Town" of Nikwasi. A third Sugartown was located on Sugar Creek, a
