Discover Piedmont
Piedmont, in Calhoun and Cherokee counties, began in the early 1840s at the crossroads of two early post roads. Major Jacob Forney Dailey of North Carolina came to Alabama in 1848, bought land there and named it Cross Plains, and a post office of that name opened on September 22, 1851; the place had also been called Hollow Stump.
More about Piedmont
Cross Plains voted to incorporate on March 10, 1871, with Dailey as its first mayor, and voted again to reincorporate on May 15, 1882. By act of the legislature it became Piedmont on September 30, 1888, the name, meaning "foot of the mountains," suiting its mountain setting. The Standard Coosa-Thatcher Company, a textile firm founded in Piedmont in 1891 and known locally as the Cotton Mill, was the main employer in and around the city for nearly a century and expanded across the Southeast and into the West.
