Talladega County, AL
History
Prior to Euro-American settlement in what is today Talladega County, the area was the home of the Abihka tribe of the Creek Confederacy. Talladega County was created by an act of the Alabama General Assembly on December 18, 1832, from land ceded by the Creek Indians in the March Treaty of Cusseta. The county was named after the Creek Indian village of Talatigi, which means "border town." The earliest settlers came to Talladega County from the Carolinas, Virginia, and Tennessee.Source: Encyclopedia of Alabama and Wikipedia
