Town Creek, in Lawrence County, was established in the first half of the 19th century and was first known as Jonesboro, after early settler William Jones. It was incorporated in 1875. The Goode-Hall House, north of town, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Nearby on the Tennessee River is Wheeler Lock and Dam. The Army Corps of Engineers began work in January 1933 to improve navigation over the treacherous upper Muscle Shoals, and the new Tennessee Valley Authority took over the project that May. The lock was completed in 1935 and opened on December 1, 1936, creating Wheeler Reservoir, with 74 miles of navigable channel. On June 2, 1961, the lock's north wall failed, halting shipping on 375 miles of the upper river and threatening NASA's plans to ship its first Saturn rocket booster by barge from Huntsville to Cape Canaveral. TVA built a larger lock in less than a year, completing it in April 1962. Sources Wikipedia: Town Creek, Alabama The Historical Marker Database: A Brief History (Tennessee Valley Authority)
