Pardo reported the Coosa town had 150 neighborhoods
The Coosa Indians were evidently powerful and numerous in De Soto's time. Pardo reported that in 1567 the Coosa town had 150 neighborhoods—i. e., small villages." Garcilasso says there were 500 houses, but he is notoriously given to exaggeration when it comes to figures of any sort.12
