Discover Gordo
Gordo's first settlers arrived in the 1830s and founded the Crossroads community where the Columbus–Tuscaloosa and Vienna–Fayette stagecoach roads met, a mile northeast of today's town. A post office called Gordo has operated since 1847, and the name is believed to come from veterans returning from the Battle of Cerro Gordo in the Mexican War.
More about Gordo
When the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was built in 1898, the community moved to be near the tracks. Gordo was incorporated in 1900 and 1901, with John J. Windham as its first mayor, and by 1910 it was the largest town in Pickens County, with 707 people.
