Discover Cullman
Cullman, the seat of Cullman County, lies in what was Cherokee territory, crossed by the Black Warrior's Path from the Tennessee River near Florence to the Black Warrior River; in 1813 Andrew Jackson sent troops down the trail, Davy Crockett among them. In 1822 Abraham Stout was chartered to build a turnpike from Gandy's Cove in Morgan County through the area, later extended to Elyton, and in 1833 Mace Thomas Payne Brindley chartered a second road; Cullman later grew where the two met. On April 30, 1863, during Streight's Raid, Union Colonel Abel Streight's raiders fought General Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry at Day's Gap, near the future town.
More about Cullman
The city was founded in 1873 by Colonel John G. Cullmann, a Bavarian who had fought in the Revolutions of 1848 and 1849 and left Germany after years of setbacks, settling in London and coming to America in 1865. In 1873 he became agent for 349,000 acres owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and started a colony for German immigrants. Five German families arrived in March 1873, and in 1874 the town was incorporated under the Americanized name Cullman. Over 20 years he encouraged about 100,000 Germans to emigrate, laid out the town himself and published a German-language newspaper; when he died in 1895, Governor William C. Oates attended his funeral. German immigrants also founded St. Bernard's Monastery, home of the Ave Maria Grotto and its 125 miniature reproductions of famous religious buildings. From the 1890s until the 1950s Cullman was a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to live. Sources Wikipedia: Cullman, Alabama
