TALLADEGA CREEK. A tributary of the Coosa River (q. v.), rising in Clay County, and flowing in a westerly direction, through Tal- ladega County to its confluence with the Coosa. The length of the creek is not of record; its low-water width varies between 50 and 140 feet; its depth probably is less than 1 foot on shoals and as much as 10 to 12 feet in the pools. The creek has considerable fall, but exact figures on this point are not available. It is not classed as a navigable stream, and no improvements have been made by the United States Government.

TALLADEGA CREEK INDIAN VILLAGE. An old Creek Indian town, on Talladega Creek, in Talladega County, about halfway between Coosa and Eufaula Old Town.

TALLAPOOSA COUNTY. Created by an act, December 18, 1832, and was formed out of the Creek cession of March 24, 1832. By act of legislature, February 15, 1866, a part of this county was added to Elmore County. It has an area of 492,800 acres, or 770 square miles.
The county derived its name from the river of the same name.
The county was surveyed in 1832 after the treaty with the Creek Indians. County officers were elected at the first election which was held in August, 1833. W. Atkins, was the presiding judge, and Daniel G. Watson, clerk, of the first county court which was held the following November. The sec- ond court convened but transacted no busi- ness on account of the absence of the judge. November 30, 1834, the third court assem- bled with Joseph Bryan, presiding judge, and Harrison Young, sheriff. The second cir- cuit clerk, Joseph A. Johnson, entered upon his duties in 1835. During all these years the court was held at Okfuskee, near Young's Ferry. It was moved to Dadeville about the year 1838, where it has since remained.
Location and Physical Description .- It is situated in the east-central part of the state and is bounded on the north by Clay and Randolph counties, on the east by Chambers, Lee, and Macon, on the south by Macon and Elmore, and on the west by Coosa County and the Tallapoosa River which separates it from Elmore County. It lies almost entirely within the Piedmont Plateau province, the northern boundary being but a few miles dis- tant from the Appalachian Plateau province. About 36 square miles of the southern portion lies in the coastal plain region. Its highest altitude is 1,000 feet and the lowest 230 feet above sea level. The surface features exhibit the widest variation, from the rolling country of the southern end to the rolling hilly to mountainous country in the extreme

northern portion. Soil conditions are ade- quate for the profitable development of an intensive and varied agriculture. Fourteen distinct soil types are found, the Cecil loams and clays predominating throughout the area, with the exception of the Norfolk and Orangeburg types in the southern end. Fruit, wheat, and pecans are also profitable. Copper, graphite, asbestos, emery, granite and soapstone are found in abundance. The climate is free from extremes in temperature. It is well watered by the Tallapoosa and its tributaries, Washtunee, Tallassee, Yellow Water, Flat Basket, Sougahatchee, Fish Trap, Wind, Buck, Emuchfaw, Sandy, Elke- hatchee, Blue, North Fork, Moore's, Bear, Hillabee and Little Hillabee Creeks. The forest abound with the white, red and Span- ish oak, poplar, hickory, pine, ash, mulberry, and gum.
Aboriginal History .- Many of the towns of the Upper Creek nation were located within the porders of the county and much of the disturbance just prior to the removal of the Indians west in 1836, as well as several of tue conflicts between the whites and the na- tives during the uprisings in 1813-1814, took place here. Tecumseh made his well known appeal to the Upper Creeks at the public square in Tallasi, opposite to Tuckabatchie, in 1811. The engagements between the na- tives and Jackson's army at Emuckfau and Tohopeka, or Horse Shoe Bend in 1814, being among them. Towns existing to historic times were: Alkohatche, on a stream joining Tallapoosa river four miles above Okfuski; Chatoksofke, a considerable town, having in 1832, 143 heads of families, and enjoying the reputation in ancient days of being the most famous ball players in the Creek Nation; Chattuckchufaule, a branch town of the Tali- sees and the home of Peter McQueen, one of the insurgent leaders of 1813, being destroyed in August, 1813, hy Creeks friendly to the government; Imukfa or Tohopeka (Horse Shoe), near which the famous engagement took place, the town being on a small stream of the same name, west of river, in a bend; Ipisogi, on a creek of the same name, which joined Tallapoosa river opposite Okfuski; 'La 'Lo-Kalka, "Fish ponds," on a small stream, 14 miles above its junction with Alkohatchi ¿ stream running into Tallapoosa River from the west four miles above Okfuski; Lutchapoga, "Terrapin resort," was probably originally in Tallapoosa, but a map of 1827 shows it in what is now Elmore County; Okfuski, with its seven branch villages, the largest community in the Creek confederation was located on both sides of Tallapoosa river, 35 miles above Tuckabatchie; Suka- Ispoka, or "hog range," on Tallapoosa river, 12 miles above Okfuski; Talisi, nearly oppo- site to Tuckabatchie (later investigation though has shown it to have been undoubt- edly just ahove this point and near to what is now East Tallasee in this county); Yufala, one of two towns of this name, the other being a Lower Creek town in the present Barbour County, which was situated two
miles in an air line south of Okfushi. Though not positively located, there existed some- where in the vicinity of Horse Shoe Bend a soap stone quarry which was worked in very early times. Three of the largest stone bowls found in America have been secured within the neck at the bend. The battlefields at Emuckfaw Creek, in the extreme northern section of the county, and at Horseshoe have been located and markers placed thereon, in recent years.
Early Settlement and History. Few had come to this section prior to the War of 1812. The Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia furnished the early settlers. It is said that James Moore was the first settler in the county. Dudleyville was founded at the be- ginning of the nineteenth century, and early settlements were also made at Youngville, later called Alexander City, Dadeville, and Emuckfaw.
