Coosa County, County administrative division in east-central Alabama, United States
Coosa County extends across 657 square miles within the Piedmont physiographic region, with the Coosa River forming the western boundary of the territory.
The Alabama State Legislature established Coosa County in December 1832 from territories previously held by Creek Indians through the Treaty of Cusseta.
The county's textile manufacturing heritage includes the Avondale Mills plant, which operated until 2006 and shaped the local industrial landscape.
The territory contains multiple water resources, including Lay Lake, Lake Martin, and Mitchell Lake, with Rockford serving as the administrative center.
The Old Rock Jail in Rockford holds the distinction of being the first constructed jail facility in the state of Alabama.
