Coweta (tribal town)

Coweta was a tribal town and one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee Confederacy in what is now the Southeast United States, along with Kasihta (Cusseta), Abihka, and Tuckabutche.

Coweta was located on the Chattahoochee River in what the Spanish called Apalachicola Province now in the modern state of Alabama. It was a central trading city of the Lower Towns of the Mucogee Confederacy. Members of the tribal town were also known as Caouitas or Caoüita. [p. 391]
