Tuscumbia, the seat of Colbert County, lies in traditional Chickasaw territory. When the Michael Dixon family arrived about 1816, the first European Americans to settle here, they traded with Chief Tuscumbia for the valley and built their home at the head of the big spring, and a village called the Big Spring Community grew around them. The town was incorporated in 1820 as Ococoposa, a Chickasaw word for "cold water," renamed Big Spring in 1821 and, on December 22, 1822, renamed Tuscumbia for the Chickasaw chief rainmaker. It is one of Alabama's oldest towns.
A federal road completed in 1820 gave access to markets despite the river shoals, and Tuscumbia became the agricultural center of north Alabama. Its line of the Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad was finished in 1832, and by 1850 the town was a major railroad hub. The Tuscumbia Female Academy operated from 1826 into the 1860s. In the Civil War Union troops destroyed the railroad shops and other parts of town. Tuscumbia became the seat of the new Colbert County in 1867. On November 22, 1874, an F4 tornado destroyed or damaged about a third of the town and killed 14 people. In April 1894 a mob of 200 men took three African Americans accused of planning arson from the jail and hanged them from the Tennessee River bridge. Helen Keller was born at Ivy Green, in Tuscumbia.
