City Info
What is now Prattville, Alabama was largely inhabited by Native Americans and a few settlers when Daniel Pratt, a native of Temple, New Hampshire, first observed the sparkling waters of Autauga Creek in the 1830's. Pratt purchased approximately 1000 acres from Joseph May at $21.00 an acre, (half of which was to be paid in cotton gins at prevailing rates), and set out to build his manufacturing facilities and the town along the banks of the creek which would supply power for the machinery to build cotton gins. In the late 1830's, Pratt began building in Alabama the most extraordinary town in the antebellum South, a town dedicated to industry on a spot surrounded by large black belt plantations to the south, and farms or smaller plantations to the north. Pratt, who would later be called "Alabama's first industrialist", surveyed the land and laid out his town as those in his native New England. As a result, Pratt's village is one of the few older Southern towns that do not boast of a town square. Because Pratt set aside specific spaces for businesses, churches, schools, and residential areas for his employees and others who would move into the area, Prattville could be singled out as one of Alabama's first "planned communities."
