St. Clair County

St. Clair County was established on November 20, 1818 by the Alabama Territory.  The original county seat was incorporated and named “Ashville” in honor of John Ash.  In 1907 a second county seat was established in Pell City because of the difficulty of the southern residents in crossing Backbone Mountain.

Because of a series of dams on the Coosa River, St. Clair County is home to Logan Martin Land & Neely Henry Lake.  Horse Pens 40, a private outdoor park on top of Chandler Mountain, is located in the northern part of the county.
