Add to ORKGThe marker reads: OLD RUSSELL COUNTY COURTHOUSE During the Federal occupation of the former Confederate States of America, the Alabama Legislature created Lee County primarily from the northern half of Russell County in 1866 and ordered the selection of the county seat more centrally located. Government in Russell County was practically non-existent at the time; few records were kept and taxes levied only for favored political purposes. An election was called; Seale won. Simeon O\u27Neal and Cicero McBride selected this commanding site. John Lewis was architect.
