Tibbie is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Washington County, Alabama, United States. Its population was 41 as of the 2010 census.[2]
The Red Alabama Blackmouth Cur is thought to have originated in the area around Tibbie in the 1940s.[3]
The name Tibbie comes from a shortened form of the Choctaw word "oakibbeha". Oakibbeha means "blocks of ice therein," with okti meaning "ice" and the plural form abeha meaning "to be in".[4]
A post office first began operations under the name Tibbie in 1910.[5]
