Maplesville first grew three miles east of its present site, near Mulberry Creek, in what was then Bibb County. Settlers from Georgia and the Carolinas arrived after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, and the town was named for merchant Stephen W. Maples, its first postmaster, whose store held the post office. It stood where the Elyton Road from Selma to Birmingham crossed the Fort Jackson Road from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery, and by 1850 it had 809 residents, two horse-racing tracks and several inns and taverns for stagecoach travelers.
In the early 1850s two railroads were built three miles west, through a small settlement called Cuba. Residents and merchants moved toward the tracks, and when the post office moved there in 1856, the new town took the name Maplesville; the old site was gradually abandoned, leaving only the Old Maplesville Cemetery. With good rail access Maplesville became a shipping point for cotton, and it prospered further after the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio built through in 1897; a lumber mill opened nearby in 1901. Near Maplesville, Union cavalry under General James H. Wilson fought the Battle of Ebenezer Church on April 1, 1865, on their way to Selma.
