Eufaula

Eufaula was one of several Creek towns along the lower Chattahoochee River. Its settlements spread at different times along both banks, linked by paths to nearby Sawokli and to other communities on the Flint and Pea rivers. Maps recorded the town as Uphale by the 1730s. Around the turn of the nineteenth century, Indian agent Benjamin Hawkins described its inhabitants as farmers and cattle herders, with fields enclosed by fences.
