History
The State of Alabama was admitted to the Union in 1819 and was soon organized into counties. Named after General Zebulon Montgomery Pike of New Jersey, Pike County was one of the oldest in the state, organized on December 17, 1821. The temporary county seat was established at the residence of Andrew Townsend. Pike County compromised a large tract of country, so large that it was called the State of Pike, including parts of what are now Crenshaw County, Alabama, Montgomery County, Macon County, Bullock County, and Barbour County, Alabama. And extended to the Chattahoochee River on the east.
