Discover Tallassee
Tallassee, on the falls of the Tallapoosa River, grew on the site of Talisi, a town of the Mississippian Coosa province visited by Hernando de Soto in 1540, whose name means "Old Town" in Creek. The area was later home to the Creek capital of Tukabatchee. The Seminole leader Osceola is believed to have been born at Talisi. In 1798 Creek agent Benjamin Hawkins saw the great falls and predicted that the river, the falls and the abundant rock would one day support a large city. Few families settled here before 1832, but the town existed by 1835, and from 1837 to 1840 settlers from Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia built a new town of wood and stone on the west bluff of the river, after the Creeks' removal in 1836.
More about Tallassee
In 1841 the legislature chartered the Tallassee Falls Manufacturing Company to Barent DuBois, the town's founder, and in 1844 Thomas Meriwether Barnett, called the father of Tallassee, and William M. Marks built its first cotton mill. During the Civil War, Barnett, Micou and Company made cloth for Confederate uniforms and tents, and in June 1864 the Confederacy moved the Richmond Carbine Factory from Virginia into an old Tallassee cotton mill, chosen by ordnance chief Josiah Gorgas for its remote location and river power. The Tallassee Armory was the only Confederate armory not destroyed in the war. In 1900 the Tallassee Falls Manufacturing Company became part of the Mount Vernon-Woodberry Cotton Duck company, and during World War II the mills won Army awards for war production. The old Mount Vernon Mill burned on May 5, 2016. Sources The Historical Marker Database: History of Tallassee (Alabama Tourism Department and the City of Tallassee) Wikipedia: Tallassee, Alabama
