About Evergreen, Alabama

Evergreen is a city of 3,520 people and the seat of Conecuh County, in southwestern Alabama. Richard Shipp, who arrived from Georgia in 1818, once held most of the ground the city covers today, and in that same year Malachi Warren opened the area's first general store. In 1819 James Cosey, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, settled with several other men along what is now South Main Street, a spot people called Cosey's Old Field. The clergyman Alexander Travis named the town for the green ferns and foliage all around it.

The Mobile and Montgomery Railway was built through Evergreen in 1861, and the small town finally had fast transportation. The line later became the L&N Railroad, and the Louisville and Nashville Depot joined the National Register in 1975. During the Civil War a federal raid burned Sparta, the old county seat, so in 1866 the seat moved to Evergreen, which sat closer to the middle of the county. On June 20 of that year Isaac Griffith and Julia Ann Hammond, his wife, gave land for a new courthouse. Evergreen became an incorporated city on March 28, 1873.

  • Greenery for a presidentIn the late nineteenth century George Caldwell, an immigrant from England, saw that northern states would buy the wild greenery growing around Evergreen and started his own business shipping it. Known as "The Woodsman," he sent smilax vine and other local greens to the White House for Grover Cleveland's inauguration in 1885, and the town became known across the country. It is still called the "Emerald City."
  • Rebuilt after storm and fireA tornado struck in 1882 and left only the Episcopal church standing. On November 7, 1895, fire burned every home and business east of the railroad, and five days later another fire took everything on the west side. Fire also destroyed the county courthouse four separate times, in 1868, 1875, 1885 and 1895. Each time, the town rebuilt and kept growing.
  • A Baptist home on Main StreetIn 1863 the Alabama Baptist State Convention approved a home for children of soldiers killed in the Civil War. The convention founded it in 1891, with a charter from the legislature that same year. The Louise Short Baptist Widows' and Orphans' Home opened its doors on March 8, 1893, in a 10-room brick residence on 80 acres along Main Street. The Reverend John W. Stewart served as its first superintendent.
  • Moved to Troy in 1923After 30 years in Evergreen, the Baptist home moved to Troy on June 14, 1923. In 1938 it took the name The Alabama Baptist Children's Home.
  • Sausage, collards and BigfootThe Conecuh Sausage Company opened in Evergreen in 1947 and is still one of the city's leading employers. In 1973 Evergreen was called the collard green capital of Alabama, which the town celebrates with a Collard Green Festival, and in February 2017 the city council named it the Official Bigfoot Capital of Alabama.
