Fayette County was created
20 Dec 1824 from portions of Tuscaloosa and Marion
counties. It is located in the northwest-central
section of the state (left).
The
county was named for General Lafayette (right), who was
touring Alabama at the time of the county's
formation. The first post office was established at
Fayette Court House (the county seat) 14 Feb 1826.
The name of the office was changed to Fayette 26 May
1892. A courthouse fire in 1866 resulted in the loss
of numerous early records. |
