Madison, mostly in Madison County with part in Limestone County, lies in land once occupied by the Koasati, or Coushatta, a Muskogean-speaking people. Its first European American resident, John Cartwright, settled there in 1818.
The town grew up in the 1850s as Madison Station, around a stop on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and textile mills were built in the late 19th century to process cotton. On May 17, 1864, Confederate Colonel Josiah Patterson's 5th Alabama Cavalry, with Colonel James H. Stuart's battalion and horse artillery, drove Colonel Adam G. Gorgas's 13th Illinois Infantry out of Madison, capturing its wagon train and 66 prisoners, burning Union supplies and tearing up the railroad before retreating; Union troops were sent in pursuit from Huntsville.
