Abbeville, County seat in Wiregrass region, Alabama, USA
The municipality stands at coordinates 31.57 latitude and -85.25 longitude, with tree-lined streets surrounding the central courthouse square.
The territory belonged to Creek Nation until 1819, when Alabama became a state, and Abbeville was designated as Henry County seat in 1833.
The name Abbeville derives from Creek Indian words Yatta Atta, referring to Dogwood trees reflecting in the creek waters.
The Henry County School District manages three educational institutions: an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.
Local folklore tells of Huggin Molly, a tall figure in black who reportedly chases people at night to hug them and scream in their ears.
