Discover Vance

Vance, on the line between Tuscaloosa and Bibb counties, was first settled in 1830 by David M. Lindley, when it was a trading post called Trion on the Old Huntsville Road. In 1872 it was renamed Smallwood for sawmill owner Charles Smallwood, and in 1879 it became Vance, for Dr. William Vance of North Carolina; the 1880 census listed it as the village of Vance's Station.

More about Vance

Near here the Civil War first came to Tuscaloosa County. On March 31, 1865, Union cavalry under Brigadier General John T. Croxton, some 1,500 strong, entered the county with orders to destroy the University of Alabama, burning the ironworks and tannery near Bucksville on the way. Learning that Confederate cavalry under General William H. "Red" Jackson was near Trion, Croxton turned to meet them, and at daybreak on April 1 Jackson's men attacked as the Federals broke camp about half a mile south of present-day Vance. The Union troops lost about 60 men killed, wounded or captured and 150 horses and were forced to detour northeast before reaching Tuscaloosa. Vance was formally incorporated in 1972. It is best known today as the home of the Mercedes-Benz U.S. International plant.
