Discover Moulton

Moulton is the seat of Lawrence County, created by the territorial legislature in 1818 from land ceded by the Cherokee and Chickasaw and named for Captain James Lawrence, the War of 1812 naval hero whose dying command was "Don't give up the ship." By the time Alabama became a state in 1819, an inn stood at the site to serve travelers on the area's early paths.

More about Moulton

Shortly after statehood both Moulton and Courtland, to the north, incorporated and competed to be the county seat, and Governor Thomas Bibb chose Moulton as the more central of the two; it has been the seat since 1820. The town is named for Lieutenant Michael Moulton, killed fighting under Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. The writer Anne Newport Royall lived near Moulton in 1819 while waiting on a lawsuit over her late husband's estate, and described north Alabama and the Cherokee in her Letters from Alabama. She later published a satirical newspaper in Washington, D.C., and is credited with the first presidential press conference.
