History
編輯Abbeville is the oldest remaining colonial settlement in East Alabama from Florida to the Tennessee line. It's older than the county of Henry and the State of Alabama. The city was named for "Abbe", a local Muscogee Indian man at the time of the town's settlement. The name means "a grove of dogwood trees". An active trading post was located in Abbeville in Alabama Territory early in 1819. The first settler gateway to the wiregrass was at Franklin located fourteen miles west of Abbeville.
In 1944, an activist African-American woman was gang-raped by six white men. The men admitted the rape to authorities. Subsequently two grand juries declined to indict the men. This was documented in the book, At the Dark End of the Street.[4][5]
