Demopolis Town Square

The park occupies one city block in downtown Demopolis, featuring a Victorian gazebo, cast iron fountain from 1895, and the old Presbyterian Church.

French expatriates who settled the area after Napoleon's fall established this public square in 1819, making it one of Alabama's oldest gathering spaces.

The park transforms into an event venue during Christmas on the River celebrations, hosting traditional community gatherings and seasonal festivities throughout the year.

The square contains the Demopolis City Hall building from 1869 and provides access to Main Street, Capitol Street, Walnut Street, and Washington Street.

The former Presbyterian Church structure, built in 1843 and now known as Rooster Hall, served as the Marengo County Courthouse from 1868 to 1871.
