Fayette County was created 20 Dec
1824 from portions of
Tuscaloosa and Marion counties. It is located in the
northwest-central
section of the state (left).
The county was named for General
Lafayette (right), who was
touring
Alabama at the time of the county's
formation.
The first post office was established at Fayette Court House (the
county
seat) 14 Feb 1826. The name of the office was changed to Fayette
26 May 1892. A courthouse fire in 1866 resulted in the loss of
numerous early records. |
