Louisville, still pronounced "Lewisville," is one of the oldest towns in southeast Alabama. It was settled in 1817 by Daniel Lewis, who set up a trading post and named the community Louisville after the first capital of Georgia, his hometown. By 1820 the area had four stores, a Methodist congregation meeting in a brush arbor and several families, and Daniel McKenzie ran a tan yard and sawmill at nearby springs.
Louisville served as county seat of two different counties. The first courthouse for Pike County was built here in 1821, and when Barbour County was created from parts of Pike and Henry counties, Louisville was its first seat until 1834, when the seat moved to Clayton. Before 1860 Captain Patrick Bludworth organized and drilled a local militia, the Louisville Blues, which became a Confederate company. The Central of Georgia Railroad arrived in 1888, and the business district moved to be near the depot. The lumber industry, begun here in 1828, remains important, and the town's first automobile arrived in 1908. Sources The Historical Marker Database: Louisville Wikipedia: Louisville, Alabama
