Albaamaha

The Albaamaha were a Muskogean-speaking people of the upper Alabama River and members of the Creek Confederacy. They encountered Hernando de Soto’s expedition in 1540.

Their towns later included white towns responsible for peace and red towns responsible for war. Pressed by settlers and neighboring enemies in the eighteenth century, Alabama and their Koasati allies moved west through Louisiana. By 1805 some Alabama had settled at Peach Tree Village in eastern Texas, where the two peoples continued to hunt together.
