About Wetumpka, Alabama
Wetumpka is a city of 7,220 people and the county seat of Elmore County, built on both banks of the Coosa River. Its name comes from Muscogee Creek words meaning "rumbling waters," thought to describe the roar of the rapids at the Devil's Staircase. The Creek village of Taskigi stood nearby when the French built Fort Toulouse in 1714, and the French held the post until 1763. After Andrew Jackson beat the Creeks at Horseshoe Bend, he repaired the old fort, and it became Fort Jackson.
Wetumpka was incorporated in 1834 as two halves: a commercial east side in Coosa County and a residential west side in Autauga County. Steamboats carried cotton from its port down to Mobile, the town had 1,200 people by 1836, and an East Coast paper ranked it with Chicago among the West's most promising cities. In 1845 it lost the race for the state capital to Montgomery, and that same year a fire burned its warehouses, whose charred bricks went downriver to build the new capital. Elmore County made it the county seat in 1866, but the population, 3,824 in 1850, had fallen to 562 by 1900.
“Three lighted lanterns hanging from the rafters were the last things seen of the bridge as it washed away in the flood of March 1886.”
- Horace King's covered bridgeThe Coosa's first bridge at this spot went up in 1834, built by the Wetumpka Toll Bridge Co., and a flood carried it away in 1844. That year John Godwin had a covered toll bridge built, designed and directed by his slave, Horace King. Freed in 1846, King built bridges across the South, and after the Civil War Russell County voters twice elected him to the state legislature. Walkers paid 5Β’ to cross; churchgoers crossed free.
- The Bibb Graves Bridge, 1931After the covered bridge was lost in 1886, a ferry ran until the Southern Bridge Co. of Birmingham finished an iron bridge in 1887. When that one wore out, the state and county split a $177,440 project, and the fourth bridge opened in 1931. Edward Houk, born in Denmark, designed it, and it was named for Governor Bibb Graves. Its rainbow arches make it one of only two Alabama bridges hung from reinforced concrete.
- A crater from spaceSome 85 million years ago, while a shallow sea covered this ground, an asteroid estimated at 1,000 feet across hit and left a ring six miles wide. Its ridges of metamorphic rock still rise east of the city, topped by Bald Knob, the rim's tallest summit. The ring was known for over a century before geologists recognized it in the 1970s as an impact crater, and drilling at its center found rock altered as only an impact can.
- Churches from the 1850sThe Presbyterians organized in 1836 and dedicated their church in 1857, Gothic on the outside and Greek Revival within. In 1861 the Wetumpka Light Guard set out from it to join the Confederate Army, and it joined the National Register in 1976. The Methodists, organized in 1837, finished their third building in 1854; its original nave seated 500, and it served both Black and white congregations.
- Big Fish in 2003Several scenes of Big Fish, the 2003 movie based on Daniel Wallace's 1998 novel, were filmed in Wetumpka.
