Bullock County is located in the southeastern part of the state of Alabama. Established on December 5, 1866, the county was formed from portions of Macon, Pike, Montgomery, and Barbour Counties. It was named in honor of Colonel Edward C. Bullock, a Confederate Army officer who served as a state legislator and Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives.
The county seat is Union Springs, which was initially settled in 1835 and later became a prominent railroad hub. Its fertile soil made the area attractive for farming, particularly cotton cultivation, which led to considerable economic growth in the 19th century. The rise of plantation agriculture also contributed to a large enslaved population in the county.
After the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the newly established Bullock County struggled economically due to the collapse of the plantation system. The majority of the population turned to sharecropping and tenant farming as a means of survival.
In the 20th century, Bullock County saw progress in civil rights and political representation. The area was a focal point of the Civil Rights Movement, with local demonstrations and notable figures, such as civil rights leader John Hulett, bringing attention to the struggle for voting rights and representation for African Americans.
Today, Bullock County is known for its rich history, beautiful landscapes, and a strong sense of community. A fun fact about this region is that Union Springs, the county seat, is considered the "Field Trial Capital of the World." It hosts numerous bird dog field trial competitions that attract participants and visitors from all over the globe.
