Eutaw, the seat of Greene County, is named for General Nathanael Greene's victory at Eutaw Springs, South Carolina, during the American Revolution; the county is named for Greene himself. The area, explored by Hernando de Soto in 1540 and ceded by the Choctaw in 1816, became a territorial county in 1819. Eutaw was laid out in December 1838, when county voters chose to move the seat from Erie on the Black Warrior River, and it was incorporated on January 2, 1841.
As county seat Eutaw became the trading center for a cotton economy built on the labor of enslaved African Americans, and planters built fine homes in town. Eutaw has 27 antebellum buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, among them the Old Greene County Courthouse, the First Presbyterian Church and Kirkwood, and the courthouse square is a listed historic district. During Reconstruction Eutaw saw repeated Klan violence. The courthouse was burned in 1868, many believe to destroy records of some 1,800 lawsuits by freedmen against planters. On March 31, 1870, Republican county solicitor Alexander Boyd was shot and killed at his hotel by a masked band of Klansmen, and on October 25, 1870, whites attacked a Republican rally of about 2,000 Black citizens on the courthouse square in what became known as the Eutaw massacre.
