Situated in the heart of South Alabama along the vital Interstate 65 corridor, Conecuh County is a historic region known for its rich timberlands, agricultural roots, and close-knit communities.

Established on February 13, 1818—nearly a year before Alabama officially achieved statehood—Conecuh County possesses a deep historical legacy in the state’s development. The name “Conecuh” is derived from a Creek Indian term meaning “Land of Cane” or “Caneland,” describing the lush cane brakes that originally lined the local rivers.

Evergreen officially became the seat of justice after earlier county seats in Hampden Ridge and Sparta. Key municipalities and communities include Evergreen, Castleberry, Repton, Belleville, Lenox, and Range.
Economy & Agriculture: Conecuh County’s economy is anchored by timber production, forestry, cattle farming, and agriculture. The county is globally renowned as the home of the Conecuh Sausage Company, an iconic South Alabama culinary staple founded in Evergreen in 1947.
Historic Landmarks: The county preserves its heritage through several sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including the New Evergreen Commercial Historic District, the historic Louisville and Nashville (L&N) Depot, and the Asa Johnston Farmhouse.
