Ulibahali

Ulibahali was a Native chiefdom near the junction of the rivers that form the Coosa. In 1540 Hernando de Soto's army came here after leaving the principal town of Coosa and crossing the Etowah River at Itaba. The expedition continued down the Coosa River through a landscape of villages and cultivated valleys. Ulibahali was one of the communities connected to the powerful Coosa chiefdom, whose influence extended across the southern Appalachian region.
