Tallapoosa County received its present dimensions in 1866. The county derives its name from the Tallapoosa River. Tallapoosa is believed to mean "pulverized rock," in the Choctaw Indian language. Tallapoosa County is located in the east-central part of the state and is bordered by Clay, Randolph, Chambers, Lee, Macon, Elmore, and Coosa counties. The county lies almost entirely in the Piedmont plateau, immediately south of the Appalachian plateau province. From 1832-38, the county seat was at Okfuskee. Since 1838, it has been at Dadeville, which was named for Major Francis Langhorne Dade who died in the Seminole War. Horseshoe Bend National Military Park and Lake Martin are located in Tallapoosa County. Other towns and communities include Alexander City and Camp Hill. ------------------------------------Chambers of Commerce-------------------- Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce 185 South Tallassee Street Dadeville, AL 36853 Phone: (256) 825-4019 E-mail: chamber@lakemartin.net http://www.dadeville.com/ Alexander City Chamber of Commerce 120 Tallapoosa Street Alexander City, AL 35010 (256) 234-3461 http://www.alexandercity.org/ ------------------------Tallapoosa County Related Links--------------------- The Alex City Outlook News Online --- http://www.alexcityoutlook.com/ Alabama Vital Records - - http://ph.state.al.us/chs/VitalRecords/VRECORDS.HTMl US Census Bureau Quick Facts about Tallapoosa Co. - http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/01/01123.html Historical Maps of Tallapoosa County - http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/counties/tallapoosa.html Polital Graveyard Tallapoosa County -- http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/counties/tallapoosa.html National Register of Historical Places -- http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/AL/Tallapoosa/state.html Tallapoosa Co.
