Coweta is one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee people along with Kasihta, Abihka, and Tuckabutche.

Coweta was located in an area now in the modern state of Alabama, USA. It was a central trading city of the Lower Creeks. Members of the tribal town were also known as Caouitas or Caoüita.[p.391]

The Cherokee language name for all the Lower Creeks is Anikhawitha.[p.391]
