Historic Eufaula
Originally known as Irwinton for an early settler, the town's name was changed in 1843 to Eufaula for a branch of the Creek Confederacy that had lived in this region. Eufaula prospered as a shipping point to the north and east for cotton produced in the fertile Black Belt. In the late 1830s, 5,000 bales of cotton a year were shipped from Eufaula by steamboat and barges to New York, Liverpool, and other markets.
Eufaula is located in the Southeastern part of Alabama on the Georgia/Alabama state line. The city is situated on a beautiful 46,000 acre lake that is a reservoir of the Chattahoochee River. US Highway 431 runs directly through Eufaula bringing thousands of travelers from Atlanta, Georgia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Asheville, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina to the Florida Panhandle.
