Enterprise is famous for honoring a pest. Its founder, John Henry Carmichael, settled here in 1881 and opened a store that drew more settlers, and the next year a post office was moved here from the settlement of Drake Eye to the north. With about 250 residents, Enterprise was incorporated in 1896, and soon afterward the Alabama Midland Railway arrived, bringing trade and growth; by 1906 the population had reached 3,750.
In 1915 the boll weevil invaded the region and destroyed most of Coffee County's cotton. Facing ruin, farmers diversified, planting peanuts and other crops, and within two years Coffee County was the nation's leading peanut producer. In gratitude, the people of Enterprise put up a monument in the center of town to the boll weevil, which its inscription calls the "Herald of Prosperity." Dedicated on December 11, 1919, it is described as the only monument to an agricultural pest in the world. On March 1, 2007, a violent EF4 tornado struck Enterprise, killing nine people, including eight students at Enterprise High School when a hallway wall collapsed, and causing nearly $307 million in damage, the worst disaster in the city's history.
