Discover Alexander City
Alexander City, known as "Alex City," was incorporated in 1872 as Youngsville, after its founder, James Young. When the Savannah and Memphis Railroad arrived in 1873, the town was renamed in March of that year for the railroad's president, Edward Porter Alexander, a former Confederate brigadier general.
More about Alexander City
In 1892, when cotton was king, area farmers grew about 18,000 bales a year, and town leaders looked to a cotton mill for their first major industry. The Alexander City Cotton Mill was built in 1901 and bought in 1919 by the family of Braxton Bragg Comer; its Avondale plant soon employed 350 people making yarn and ticking. On June 13, 1902, a fire that began in a machine shop destroyed much of the town, including the telegraph office, the post office and three banks, since there was no water system. That same year Benjamin Russell opened a knitting and sewing mill with 12 employees, making women's and children's knitted underwear; it grew into the Russell Corporation. Both the Comer and Russell families built churches and schools for their mill communities. Alexander City has long been the largest community in Tallapoosa County.
