About Dadeville, Alabama

Dadeville is a city of 3,084 people and the county seat of Tallapoosa County, in east-central Alabama. It began as an Indian trading post where people bought and sold cotton, lumber, tin, asbestos and livestock. The town took its name from Maj. Francis Langhorne Dade, an army officer killed by Seminole warriors in 1835 during the Second Seminole War, even though Dade had never been to Tallapoosa County.

John H. Broadnax surveyed the town in 1836, and the legislature incorporated it on June 30, 1837. A year later Dadeville became the county seat. Stagecoaches on the Tennessee Road, which ran from Montgomery to Georgia, stopped here, so traders passed through constantly, and their goods and animals often packed the courthouse square. During the Civil War the town's charter was lost, and Dadeville was incorporated again in 1871. In 1873 the Memphis and Savannah Railroad brought the first rail line in from Columbus, Georgia.

  • Alabama's first medical schoolThe Graefenberg Medical Institute opened in Dadeville in 1852 as the first medical school in Alabama. It taught students until the Civil War broke out. After the war, people tried to bring the school back to life, but they never succeeded, and its building burned in 1873.
  • An 858-foot covered bridgeDadeville's W. H. Wynn and son Will finished the Miller Covered Bridge in 1908 for $13,896, the first bridge across the Tallapoosa between Dadeville and New Site. Its name honored landowner Nora E. Miller. Heart pine trusses, fastened with 1600 oak pegs, not nails, rested on five piers of riverbank stone. Its 858 feet made it Alabama's longest covered bridge. A concrete bridge replaced it in 1955; on June 23, 1963, much of the span fell into the river.
  • Lake Martin since 1926In 1926 the Thomas Wesley Martin Dam was finished on the Tallapoosa River, and the water behind it became Lake Martin. The lake has shaped Dadeville's economy ever since, and it is one of the best recreational lakes in the state, with fishing, boating, swimming and hiking trails.
  • Ponder's NurseryWilliam "Mr. Will" Bedford Ponder ran a country store, gristmill, blacksmith shop and farm. When his eldest son, Frank, went to Alabama Polytechnic Institute to study horticulture, Ponder began growing flowering plants. In 1927 he and his three youngest sons opened the Tallapoosa County Nursery. The sons added greenhouses and irrigation, and by the late 1960s it spread over more than 250 acres. The brothers died between 1969 and 1981, and the nursery closed in 1984.
  • Home of Simon SuggsDadeville first became known across the country through Johnson Jones Hooper, who lived in the town while he served as circuit solicitor. His popular fictional character Simon Suggs called Dadeville home and turned up in a number of Hooper's stories.
