Brundidge was founded before the Civil War, in 1851 according to the city's marker, by George C. Collier, who opened a trading post and saloon there. First called Collier's Store, the town was renamed around 1854 for James M. Brundidge, a prominent citizen and founder of the local Masonic lodge. During the Civil War, Pike County men joined Company F, the "Brundidge Guards," of the 15th Alabama Infantry.
After the war Brundidge grew as an agricultural center. A depot of the new Alabama Midland Railway opened in 1889, bringing hotels and businesses. Sources differ on the incorporation date, 1890 by the city's marker and 1893 by Wikipedia. The Brundidge Banking Company opened in 1900 and the First National Bank in 1904. The Bass House, built in 1906 for Fletcher C. Bass by master carpenter Ben Andrews, has housed City Hall since November 1992. Brundidge is known for peanut butter. In 1928, according to the city's marker, J. D. Johnston set up a crude machine in an upstairs room off Main Street and started one of the first commercial peanut butter mills in the Southeast; Wikipedia credits Brundidge native Alonza E. Johnston. The Johnston mill was soon shipping more than two million jars a year and helped carry the town through the Depression, until larger companies outcompeted small mills in the late 1940s. The old Johnston Mill and General Store is now a museum, and the town holds a Peanut Butter Festival on the last Saturday in October.
