Creek War General Thomas Simpson Woodward founded the city in 1833. Before the American Civil War, the area was developed for cotton plantations, dependent on enslaved African American people. After the war, many freedmen continued to work on plantations in the rural area, which was devoted to agriculture, primarily cotton as a commodity crop.
