Morgan County is located in the northern region of the great state of Alabama. Established on February 6, 1818, by the Alabama Territorial legislature, it was originally named Cotaco County, taking its name from the creek that runs through it. The county was later renamed Morgan County on June 14, 1821, in honor of General Daniel Morgan, a hero of the American Revolutionary War.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Morgan County's economy was primarily based on agriculture, with cotton being the major crop. The Tennessee River played an integral role in providing water transport, thus facilitating trade and commerce.
When the South and North Alabama Railroad came to the area in 1870, it spurred the growth of several new towns, including Decatur, Falkville, Hartselle, and Somerville (the county seat). By the early 1900s, Decatur had become an important railway hub, and experienced significant industrial growth.
Morgan County also played a pivotal role during the American Civil Rights Movement, as it was the site of several important events in the struggle for racial equality. The famous "Brown v. Board of Education" decision, which declared segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional, originated in Morgan County's neighboring town of Scottsboro.
Fun Fact: Morgan County is home to a remarkable prehistoric Native American archeological site called the Old Stone Fort. Discovered in 1822, this massive stone and earthwork structure is believed to be the largest documented stone fort built in North America during the prehistoric era.
