Discover Jacksonville
Jacksonville, in Calhoun County, was founded on July 20, 1833, on land bought from the Creek Ho-bith Tus-tun-nuck-i, whom the buyers called "Ladiga." First named Drayton, it was renamed in 1834 for President Andrew Jackson, and it was the county seat until the seat moved to Anniston in the 20th century.
More about Jacksonville
In 1850 James and Mrs. Crook built Ten Oaks, the largest house in Calhoun County. From October 15 to 23, 1864, it was the headquarters of General P. G. T. Beauregard as he coordinated General John B. Hood's army on its march across northeast Alabama toward Nashville, and townspeople gathered in the yard to serenade him on his appointment as commander of the Military Division of the West. During the war a church in town served as a Confederate hospital. The city cemetery has a statue of Major John Pelham, and a Confederate soldier stands in the square. Jacksonville State University was founded in the city in 1883. On March 19, 2018, an EF3 tornado caused about $42 million in damage to the city and university, but with students away on spring break only four people were injured.
