Greene County
History
Greene County was created
in 1819 from part of the Choctaw Cession of 1816. Located in the
west-central portion of the state, between the Tombigbee and Black Warrior
Rivers, it is in the Southeastern Plains Region. Greene is bordered by
Pickens, Tuscaloosa,
Hale, Marengo, and
Sumter
counties. The first county seat was located at Erie, now in Hale County. In
1838, the county seat was transferred to Eutaw. Other towns and communities include Clinton and Boligee.
Eutaw is on I-20/59 about 40 miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, 85 miles southwest
of Birmingham and 110 miles WNW of Montgomery.

Culpeper Creek, (AKA Zion Creek),
Greene Co., AL. About 40
miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, crossed by US-43 about 5 miles south of Eutaw, and runs
east from there to the Black Warrior River.
Most likely named for Alexander Culpepper (1792-1850) who settled in the area prior to
the 1830 census and was granted a land
patent there in 1831. Alexander was the son of John (and Barsheba Wright) Culpepper
(1772-1818), and grandson of Erasmus Culpepper (1744-1783) of Edgecombe/Nash Co., North Carolina. |
