Pinson, one of Alabama's older communities, was settled in the early 1800s by soldiers of General Andrew Jackson after the victory at Horseshoe Bend. It was first known as Hagood's Crossroads, for settler Zachariah Hagood and his family, then renamed Mount Pinson, presumably after Pinson, Tennessee, and later simply Pinson. Its first post office opened in 1837. Andrew Jackson Beard, a Black inventor who became Jefferson County's first millionaire, was born near Pinson in 1849.
In 1861 residents volunteered for the Jefferson Warriors and fought for the Confederacy. The home site and mill of David Hanby, an early pioneer of Alabama's coal industry, lie in what is now the Turkey Creek Nature Preserve; there the Mount Pinson Ironworks, a small forge and foundry, was built in 1863 and made horseshoes for Confederate troops. Four cemeteries in the area predate the Civil War. Turkey Creek is the only home of the endangered vermilion darter, and the area has a cave tied to the Hamilton Period, around A.D. 900. Pinson was incorporated as a city in March 2004. Sources The Historical Marker Database: Pinson, Alabama (Alabama Tourism Department and the City of Pinson) Wikipedia: Pinson, Alabama
