Hale County
History
Hale County was
created in 1867 from Tuscaloosa, Bibb,
Perry, Marengo, and
Greene counties, and
those counties form its borders today. Located in the west-central section of
the state in the Southeastern Plains Region, Hale is drained by the Black
Warrior River. The county seat is Greensboro, which calls itself the "Catfish
Capital of Alabama". Other towns and communities in
the county include Moundville, Newbern , Havana, Wedgeworth, Cedarville, and
Sledge. Greensboro is 40 miles south of Tuscaloosa, 85 miles southwest of
Birmingham, and 90 miles WNW of Montgomery.

Culpepper Connections Note: The census record did not make
it clear which school the Culpeppers were attending. However, since they
were sons of a prosperous family in nearby Wilcox County, most likely
they were attending Greene Springs School, which operated from 1847 to
1884 as one of the State's academies. Called "Rugby" of the South, it
prepared a number of Alabama leaders and was one of the first schools to
add the study of science and government to the usual classics. (A
historical marker for this school is located on Alabama Highway 60)
