History

As the northernmost edge of town, McClellan is hoped to become the star of Anniston's future. During the American civil rights movement, a group known as the Freedom Riders was riding an integrated bus in protest of southern segregation laws. In 1917, the United States Army established a training camp at Fort McClellan during the start of World War I. As the bus burned, the mob held the doors shut, intent on burning the riders to death. As of the United States Census 2000 census, the population of the city is 24,276.
