Prattville was founded in 1839 by industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt, a native of Temple, New Hampshire. Autauga County, created by the territorial legislature in 1818, takes its name from the Autauga people, members of the Alibamo tribe who lived on the creek and resisted Andrew Jackson in the Creek War. When Pratt first saw Autauga Creek in the 1830s, the area was home to Native Americans and a few settlers. He bought about 1,000 acres from Joseph May at $21 an acre and built his cotton gin factory and the town along the creek, which supplied the power.
Prattville grew rapidly into an industrial center. Pratt gave land and money for schools and churches and taught a Sunday school class open to all citizens. In 1843 Prattville became a regular stop on the Methodist circuit, meeting in a building Pratt provided, and in 1853 he gave the congregation a brick church. He died on May 13, 1873. In 1868 Prattville became the seat of Autauga County, after earlier seats at Jackson's Mill, Washington and Kingston. The Daniel Pratt Historic District, the Bell House and Buena Vista are on the National Register of Historic Places.
