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) on 14 Feb
1826. The name of the office/town was shortened to
Fayette on 26 May 1892. Unfortunately, a
courthouse fire in 1866 resulted in the loss of numerous
early records. |
