Discover Autaugaville
Autaugaville's first settler, William Thompson, arrived around 1820 and built a gristmill and sawmill on Swift Creek, about three miles above the Alabama River. Sources differ on when the town was incorporated, 1839 or 1907. A cotton mill opened on Swift Creek in 1849, and its owner, following Daniel Pratt's example in nearby Prattville, built housing for the workers. The town grew further as residents of nearby Vernon moved here to escape floods and disease, and by 1851 it had 351 people, four stores, two churches and two schools.
More about Autaugaville
A cloth factory, a buggy and wagon factory and a gristmill made Autaugaville a busy manufacturing center. A fire seriously damaged downtown in 1853, the same year the Autauga Citizen newspaper began, and the town quickly rebuilt. The Civil War and Reconstruction closed its factories, and the federal government seized the cotton mill's shipments, ending its manufacturing era. In 1935 Robert Ripley's Believe It or Not! column called C. D. Abbott "the first citizen of the U.S.A.": first alphabetically in Autaugaville, the first town in Autauga, the first county in Alabama, the first state in the Union. The corner of Autauga and Academy streets now bills itself as "America's First Crossroad."
