City Info
Many people have wondered how the city of Reform, Alabama, came by its most unusual name. In 1819, three hundred years after DeSoto passed through this area, and the year that Alabama was admitted to the Union, there was a rawhide settlement where Reform now stands - a settlement with a few shanties and a reputation for being rough and rowdy. Along came Lorenzo Dow, an itinerant Methodist preacher, who attempted to hold a religious revival. He met with no encouragement from the local men who were not very religiously minded. With disgust Parson Dow closed the religious service he was attempting to conduct, saddled his horse, mounted it, and was riding away when one of the men called after him, “Parson, we don’t have a name for our town; what would you suggest?” The Parson shouted, “Reform”, and rode away. The Reform name stuck. The town of Reform was incorporated in 1898 and has been a town of which the people have been proud. The people have not lost the pioneer spirit, and the optimism with that spirit is still evident. They appreciate the opportunity to play a part in improving this, their community.
