Conecuh

Conecuh lies in the wooded country west of Greenville, near the old Federal Road through southern Alabama. After the Creek War, Fort Dale stood near the road as settlers entered the region. In 1819 families arriving from Georgia and the Carolinas established a settlement a few miles south of the fort, on land patented the previous year. Greenville grew from this early community, whose position on the road brought it into contact with a stream of newcomers.
