Discover Muscle Shoals

Muscle Shoals, the largest city in Colbert County, takes its name, by one explanation, from a shallow stretch of the Tennessee River where mussels were gathered; at the time the spelling "mussel" had not yet taken hold locally. The Cherokee called the place Dagunahi, "the place of mussels."

More about Muscle Shoals

The area was part of Cherokee hunting grounds from at least the early 18th century, when a French trading post stood here. In 1783 six prominent North Carolinians, William Blount, Richard Caswell, Griffith Rutherford, John Donelson, Joseph Martin and John Sevier, formed a company to start a colony at Muscle Shoals, and the new state of Georgia hoped to anchor its western claims by developing the area, but neither effort succeeded. During the Great Depression the Tennessee Valley Authority, created under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, brought dams, jobs and electricity to the region. The Ford Motor Company ran a plant for many years in the Listerhill community, three miles east, until it closed in 1982. Sources Wikipedia: Muscle Shoals, Alabama
