Discover Lincoln
Lincoln, in northern Talladega County, is believed to have been first seen by Europeans when Hernando de Soto's expedition passed through in search of gold. The area's population grew after the Creek cession, and the community was known as Kingsville until 1856, when it was renamed for Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln, who accepted the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781.
More about Lincoln
The 1880s brought growth with the Georgia Pacific Railroad and the building of Dam 5 and Lock 4 on the Coosa River, where the Corps of Engineers still keeps a local office. Lincoln was incorporated in 1911, the same year the county's first high school was built there, with town limits of just over a square mile. In the 1960s the building of Logan Martin Lake, the interstate highway and the Alabama International Motor Speedway, later renamed Talladega Superspeedway, began a period of change, and the city annexed surrounding land. The International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the Talladega Municipal Airport are also in Lincoln.
