Sheffield, on the Tennessee River in Colbert County, stands where people have lived for about 10,000 years. In the 1780s a French trading post and an Indian village stood near the mouth of Spring Creek, and in 1820 a town called York Bluff was laid out, where Andrew Jackson bought land for a plantation, but it soon faded. In 1832 the state's first railroad ended at Tuscumbia Landing near Spring Creek, and in the 1830s large bands of Cherokee and Creek people were sent west from there on the Trail of Tears.
In 1883 Alfred Moses and Walter Gordon bought 2,700 acres and formed the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal Company to build an industrial city, named for Sheffield, England, and incorporated in 1885 with Moses as mayor. Five blast furnaces on Furnace Hill operated until 1926, and Sheffield became a railroad center, with Southern Railroad shops providing many jobs; Colonel Harland Sanders worked for the Southern in Sheffield in 1907. Electric streetcars linked it to Tuscumbia and Florence from 1904 to 1933. In 1918 the Army built two big nitrate plants nearby and began Wilson Dam. Sheffield, sometimes called "the City of Senators," is the birthplace of Senators Howell Heflin, Mitch McConnell and Fred Thompson, as well as songwriter Arthur Alexander. It is home to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, where many popular musicians recorded, and to Helen Keller Hospital, built in 1921 as Colbert County Hospital.
