Discover Elkmont
Elkmont, in northern Limestone County, takes its name from the elk once plentiful there, the Elk River and the "mount" it sits on. Its earliest settlers crossed the Chickasaw boundary before 1810 and founded the Sims and New Garden settlements. The town began to flourish when the Tennessee and Alabama Central Railroad was completed in 1859, with a stop and post office called Fort Hampton, renamed Elkmont in 1866. It became a commercial center for northern Limestone County and was incorporated on March 28, 1873.
More about Elkmont
By 1862 the Union army controlled north Alabama and the railroad, an important supply line from Nashville. On September 25, 1864, General Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry attacked the Union fort guarding the Sulphur Creek trestle, about a mile south of town. After the commander, Colonel Lathrop, refused to surrender, some 800 rounds of artillery were fired, more than 200 Union soldiers including Lathrop were killed, and about 900 survivors surrendered, in one of the bloodiest land battles in Alabama. The Louisville and Nashville took over the line by 1871 and built the present depot in 1887. Limestone County's first high school opened in Elkmont in 1912, and the old railroad bed is now the Richard Martin Trail. Sources The Historical Marker Database: Elkmont, Alabama / Tenn. & Ala.
