About Thomasville, Alabama
Thomasville is a city of 3,649 people in Clarke County, set on high ground between the Tombigbee and Alabama rivers. The town owes its start to the railroad. When merchants at Choctaw Corner, an older settlement to the west, learned that the Mobile and West Alabama Railroad would pass east of them, they moved their stores beside the new line. The town was established on July 4, 1887, and incorporated on November 24, 1888.
At first people called the place Choctaw. It became Thomasville after Samuel Russell Thomas, a former Union general who financed railroads and headed the East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia line, gave $500 toward the town's first school. The first train ran in 1888, taking a party of revelers to Mardi Gras in Mobile. In 1889 an epidemic, probably yellow fever, struck the town, which stood partly on drained swampland, and many residents left to escape it. The town recovered, with 686 people in 1900 and 1,181 by 1912.
- Rebuilt in brick after 1899In 1899 fire swept through the whole downtown, burning 23 businesses and the postmaster's home. Most of those stores had been put up quickly in wood, so the town council ruled that new downtown buildings had to be brick. Thomasville rebuilt that way and was thriving again by the start of World War I.
- Jackson's army at the springPeople lived here long before the railroad. Robert Mott and Thomas Vick were the first settlers, before the Indians left Alabama, at a spot called Choctaw Corners on the line between Choctaw and Creek lands. By a 1765 treaty the Choctaws gave England the land from this corner to the Gulf. The settlement sat on the Jackson military road, and Jackson and his army stopped at a spring that lies inside today's town limits.
- Home of the FPS-35 radarIn the 1950s the Air Force opened a radar base at Thomasville as part of the Air Defense Command's SAGE system, and servicemen and their families moved to town. The base, called the Thomasville Aircraft Control and Warning Station, is where the prototype FPS-35 radar was developed. After it closed, the complex became the Thomasville Adult Adjustment Center, then a mental health rehabilitation center, and it now houses the L.I.F.E. Tech Institute for former prisoners.
- The City of RosesIn the 1950s residents planted roses along Highway 43, the main road through town, and Thomasville took the nickname the City of Roses. Paper mills opened around the area in the 1960s and 1970s, and that industry still matters to the local economy.
- Kathryn Tucker Windham's hometownThe storyteller and author Kathryn Tucker Windham grew up in Thomasville, and so did her cousin Earl Lee Tucker, a humorist who edited the Thomasville Times for many years. The Coastal Alabama Community College campus in town holds the Kathryn Tucker Windham Museum, and every fall the Ghost Walk has people in period dress retell tales from her 13 Ghosts books.
