About Talladega, Alabama

Talladega is a city of 15,861 people and the seat of Talladega County, about 50 miles east of Birmingham. Its name grew out of Talatigi, a Creek village that stood close by before white settlers arrived. On Nov. 9, 1813, Andrew Jackson beat the Red Stick Creeks here, and that victory, followed by Horseshoe Bend, opened the region to settlers, though the land stayed Creek territory until the Treaty of Cusseta in 1832.

That treaty gave a half section of land to Joseph Bruner, an African American interpreter, as a reward for his work. Bruner sold it to Jesse Duran, who gave the tract for a town site in July 1834 in return for a share of the money from the lot sales. Lawmakers incorporated Talladega on January 9, 1835, and the young town of log houses, taverns and trading posts won the county courthouse by a single vote.

  • A courthouse paid for by gamblingIn February 1836 a special tax fell on racetracks, racehorses, billiard tables and card playing to raise money for the courthouse, which was finished in 1838. It has come through a tornado and a fire, and no other Alabama courthouse has stayed in use as long without a break. The square around it became the Talladega Courthouse Square Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1972.
  • Two colleges born in 1854Delegates of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South held their Alabama Conference in Talladega from December 13 to 18, 1854, and voted to start a college. East and west Alabama fought so hard over its location that two schools were chartered in 1856: Southern University in Greensboro and East Alabama Male College in Auburn. The Auburn school became Auburn University in 1960. In 1918 the Greensboro school joined with Birmingham College, and together they became Birmingham-Southern College.
  • Alabama's first school for the blindIn 1858 Talladega opened the first school for blind students in the state. It grew into today's Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. The first members of The Blind Boys of Alabama, the gospel group, met each other there as students.
  • Saved by a Masonic signTalladegans were split about evenly on secession, but once the Civil War began they raised the Talladega Rifles and supplied uniforms, a nitre works, a hospital and a prison. On July 17, 1864, Union troops under Gen. Lovell H. Rousseau burned the railroad depot. On April 22, 1865, Gen. John T. Croxton's raiders set buildings on fire until a local judge showed him a Masonic sign and begged him to spare the rest of the town.
