Perry County is located in the west-central region of the great state of Alabama. It was established on December 13, 1819, by an act of the Alabama Territorial Legislature. The county was named in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a hero of the War of 1812. Marion, the county seat, was officially incorporated on January 6, 1820.
Throughout its history, Perry County has played a significant role in various civil rights movements. In the mid-19th century, it was a major hotspot for the abolishment of slavery. Reverend Samuel L. Kitchell - an influential anti-slavery minister - founded and developed the Marion Female Seminary in Marion between 1835 and 1857, shaping the town into a hub for liberal and progressive ideas.
In the 1960s, Perry County saw increased activism in the Civil Rights Movement. Several civil rights leaders like Coretta Scott King attended high school at the Lincoln School in Marion. During this period, residents faced extreme opposition from segregationists, culminating in the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson a civil rights protestor murdered by an Alabama State Trooper in 1965.
Fun fact: Perry County is known for its Juvenile Court, which pioneered the concept of juvenile probation in 1903.
