Forkland

This community was named for its location in the rich farmland in the fork of the Warrior and Tombigbee Rivers. Settled in 1818, by 1856 it had a school, churches, stores and a wagon factory. It was an easy steamboat ride to Mobile. A stagecoach inn remains near the historic St. John’s in-the-Prairie Episcopal Church as does the one room school house "Little Place."
