Tukabatchee (often spelled Tuckabatchee) was one of the four principal towns of the Creek Nation. It was located on the Tallapoosa River in the present-day state of Alabama.
The mother of Tecumseh was reported to be from Tukabatchee. In 1811 Tecumseh addressed Creek leaders in the Tukabatchee town square.
During the Creek War in 1813, Red Stick rebels surrounded the town. The siege was lifted by Creeks from the nearby town of Cusseta.
Tukabatchee was the home of Big Warrior, one of the two principal chiefs of the Creeks until his death in 1826.
The town is believed to be the first site of the ancient busk fire which began the Green Corn Ceremony.
Tecumseh was so disappointed in Big Warrior's response at the end of his speech against American expansion that he said upon reaching Chalagawtha he'd stamp his foot and all of Tuckabatchee's cabins would fall. The town was leveled by the New Madrid Earthquake a month later.
