Indianola - The name comes from the Choctaw Nation and was probably named for the area that the Choctaw Indians were displaced from in Mississippi.
The first Bynum to appear in the Indianola area was James Monroe Bynum who arrived in October or November 1874 and he was probably there illegally as no documents have ever been found to reflect he had permission.
The original township of Indianola was moved due to the introduction of the railroad.
