The name Tallapoosa is of Creek origin; many Creek villages were located along the banks of the lower river before Indian Removal in the 19th century. Tallapoosa County was established by European Americans on December 18, 1832.[1] A southwest strip of the county was detached to become a portion of Elmore County when it was established on February 15, 1866.
