Alabama Culpepper Archives
Cullman County
History
Cullman County was
formed in 1877 from portions of Blount,
Morgan, and Winston Counties.
It was named after a native of Germany who encouraged the immigration of Germans
to northern Alabama. Cullman County lies in the north-central part of the state
in the Appalachian Mountain Region. It is bounded by Morgan,
Marshall, Blount,
Walker and Winston counties.
The town of Cullman is the county seat. Other towns and communities include Good
Hope, Holly Pond, Arkadelphia, and Bug Tussle. Cullman is on I-65 about 50 miles
south of Huntsville and 50 miles north of Birmingham.
