Escambia County, Administrative division in Alabama, United States
Escambia County is an administrative area in south central Alabama, with Brewton and Atmore functioning as its two main communities. The territory connects these towns with surrounding rural areas through major highways and state roads.
The county was created in 1868 during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War, formed from portions of neighboring territories. This establishment reflected the broader reorganization of Alabama during that transformative era.
The Poarch Band of Creek Indians operates establishments and plays a vital role in shaping community identity and economic development within the county. Their presence remains central to how residents experience and understand the region today.
The main routes through the county make it easy to navigate between its communities and surrounding areas. Visitors should plan for travel between town centers, which are separated by open countryside and rural roads.
Several historic buildings and districts within the county are recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. These sites document the architectural and settlement patterns that shaped the region over time.
