| - Willstown (sometimes Wattstown, or Titsohili, as it sounded in Cherokee) was an important Cherokee town of the late 18th and early 19th century, located in the southwesternmost part of the Cherokee Nation, in what is now DeKalb County, Alabama. It was near Lookout or Little Wills Creek. Willstown was one of the trading centers along the Native American trading path in the region. The town site overlapped the boundaries of present-day DeKalb and Etowah counties in Alabama. It was largely abandoned after the Cherokee were forcibly removed from the region by United States forces in the 1830s. The city of Ft. Payne, Alabama developed nearby around the fort of the same name, built to intern the Cherokee before their removal. (en)
