Chambers County is a rural county located in the east-central part of the state of Alabama. Established on December 18, 1832, it was named in honor of Henry H. Chambers, a prominent U.S. Senator from the state. The county seat is Lafayette.
The area that is now Chambers County was originally inhabited by the Creek Indians, who ceded the land to the United States in 1832 as part of the Treaty of Cusseta. Early settlers were attracted to the region by the fertile soil, abundant water sources, and its proximity to the Chattahoochee River.
During the antebellum period, Chambers County was known for its agricultural wealth, particularly in cotton production. The county was home to numerous plantations, and the area's economy relied heavily on slave labor. Following the abolition of slavery, the county's economy shifted to include industry, most notably textile manufacturing, which remained prominent throughout the 20th century.
Chambers County was also home to a number of historic sites and events. During the Civil War, two significant battles, the Battle of West Point and the Battle of Hopewell Church, occurred in the county. Additionally, in 1934, the famous aviator Amelia Earhart made an unplanned stop at the Callaway Airport in LaFayette while attempting to break the world flight endurance record.
A fun fact about Chambers County is that Josephine Amelia Earhart, otherwise known as "Jo," the youngest sister of Amelia Earhart, lived and worked in the county as a nurse for nearly 20 years. She was married to local pharmacist Ross Callaway and resided in LaFayette, leaving a lasting personal connection to the area for the famous Earhart family.
