Houston County, Alabama
.Houston County is situated in the southeastern part of Alabama and was established on February 9, 1903. Named after Governor George Smith Houston, the county was carved from portions of Dale, Geneva, and Henry counties. Its county seat and largest city is Dothan, known for its significant peanut production and commonly referred to as the "Peanut Capital of the World."
In its early days, the area that is now Houston County was inhabited by Creek and Seminole Native American tribes. When English settlers began arriving in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, tensions grew between the settlers and natives, resulting in the Creek War of 1813-1814. Following the Native American removal in the 1830s, European American settlers established farmlands and developed the agricultural industry in the region. Cotton and peanuts eventually became the county's primary cash crops.
Fun Fact: Houston County is home to the National Peanut Festival - an annual ten-day event held every fall since 1938 in Dothan, Alabama. With its roots in a one-day event to celebrate the peanut harvest, it has grown to be one of the largest fall festivals in the United States, drawing massive crowds to enjoy parades, concerts, agricultural exhibits, and amusement rides. The festival highlights and honors local peanut farmers while offering plenty of fun and entertainment for all ages.
