History

In 1903, the first car that came to the town drove through the square en route from Ohio to Florida. As settlers began pouring into the Tennessee region, they found the Tennessee River to be an excellent source of food, water, and a way of shipping goods to the big cities. Since he and his wife, Elizabeth, wanted a place to call their own and were not very fond of Bellefonte, they moved to Scottsboro around 1850-53. In 1912, the courthouse was demolished and an election was held to determine whether the courthouse would be moved to Stevenson or stay in Scottsboro (Stevenson residents did not think Scottsboro deserved the role of county seat.) Scottsboro won the vote and the present courthouse was built (before the renovation and expansion in 1954.). On January 20, 1870, Scottsboro was incorporated by the Alabama Legislature.
