Crossville, a farming town on the sandstone plateau of Sand Mountain, which Native people called Raccoon Mountain, lies in what was disputed country between the Creeks and the Cherokee. Much of northern Alabama remained Cherokee land until the 1830s, but white settlement grew steadily, especially with the gold rush in nearby northwest Georgia, and helped drive the Cherokee out.
James A. Copeland named the village for its many crossroads. In the mid-1800s mail came by stagecoach from Rome, Georgia, and Guntersville, and the first church, the Pine Bark Methodist Episcopal Church, was formed before the Civil War. The post office opened in 1870 with A. C. Copeland as postmaster, and G. W. Justice opened the first business in 1888. In 1901 W. B. Jones installed cotton mill machinery, and the first car came through. Until 1914 the town had only two stores and a few homes; that year N. W. Black and Boyce Raines opened its first bank. Local men incorporated the town in 1919, with C. J. Crump as mayor, but the township failed. Crossville was incorporated again on December 21, 1942, with Dr. L. F. Erwin as mayor.
