Did you know?

Greene County was named for General Nathaniel Greene, a Rhode Island hero of the American Revolution, who led our troops at Guilford and Eutaw Springs and retook Charleston. Greene county was formed on 13 December 1819 from parts of Marengo (formed 1818) and Tuscaloosa (formed 1818) counties and from Indian land from the Choctaw Cession of 1816.

Greene County has an abundance of historical structures that make a great day of touring! Don't forget to make a stop at the Boligee Cafe for some down-home eats! #VisitWestAlabama #WestAL #Alabama #SweetHomeAlabama #MakeYourOwnWay #ItsAllHere ...

Did you know that our website has a trip planner for all 7 counties in our region? This one is for Fayette county. Rich in history, Fayette was first explored by DeSoto in 1540 and then it would be another 250 years before it was settled! The first city was LaFayette, honoring the French Revolutionary War hero and over the years has been changed to simply "Fayette".
