History
Also known as Sulphur Springs the town became known as Talladega Springs in 1845 and was incorporated as such in 1913. The town was a resort where people came to drink the water which was rich in sulfur and believed to have medicinal properties. At one time the town had a hotel with a swimming pool, a bank, pharmacy, post office, town jail with two cells, a grist mill, a sawmill, and a Coca-Cola bottling plant. Trains brought travelers to the town several times daily. Tourism dwindled in the early 1900s and the town with it. Today there is little evidence of what Talladega Springs used to be. The foundations of the old hotel, a badly cracked cement pool, the walls of the hotel smokehouse, and the old jail are about all that remains.
Before being submerged beneath Lay Lake, Fort Williams was located near Talladega Springs. It was used as an Indian Agency and supply depot during the Creek War.
