Escambia County, located in the southern part of Alabama, was created on December 10, 1868, from lands that were previously part of Conecuh and Baldwin counties. It was named after the Escambia River, which flows through the county and serves as its western border. The name "Escambia" is believed to be derived from the Native American word "Shambia," which means "clear water." The county seat is the town of Brewton, which was incorporated in 1885.
Throughout its history, Escambia County played a significant role in the timber and agricultural industries. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the area was a major producer of lumber and naval stores, and the local economy heavily relied on these industries. As the timber industry waned in the 20th century, agriculture gained prominence, with cotton, peanuts, soybeans, and corn becoming the major crops.
One fun fact about Escambia County is that it is home to the 44-acre "Murder Creek" (also known as "Burnt Corn") Park in East Brewton. Legend has it that the creek got its name after a group of settlers was killed nearby in the early 1800s, and their bodies were thrown into the creek. However, historical investigations have found minimal evidence to support the story. Regardless of the true origins of the name, the park provides recreational opportunities for local residents, including picnics and hiking trails.
