Jackson County was organized in 1886 from portions of Kiamitia County, Jack’s Fork County, and Blue County, Choctaw Nation. It was named for Jacob Jackson, a prominent Choctaw Indian. Its county seat was Pigeon Roost, south of present-day Boswell, Oklahoma.
Its territory was incorporated primarily into Choctaw County, Oklahoma upon Oklahoma’s statehood in 1907.
