Hillsboro, in Lawrence County, began in the late 1830s as a small community called Gilmersville, east of the present town and named for a family of early settlers. When the railroad was built through the area in the 1860s, the town moved to its present site along the tracks.
In the second half of the 19th century Hillsboro grew as an important refueling stop for trains and a local shipping point. Its name changed to Hillsborough, and the present spelling was adopted in 1891. The town was incorporated in 1899. Near Hillsboro is the home of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, who lived from 1836 to 1906. Wheeler commanded the Confederate cavalry of the Army of Tennessee and later served as a major general of U.S. cavalry in the Spanish-American War; remembered as a soldier, statesman, author and planter, he is one of Alabama's representatives in National Statuary Hall in Washington.
