Established in the early 19th century following the sale of the Chickasaw lands, Wheeling was a port on the Tombigbee River, located "a few miles below" the village of Van Buren. Wheeling had a hotel and merchants, though "its life was very short", and Van Buren absorbed its businesses.[2]
The former settlement is today covered by forest, located on the east bank of the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway.
