[edit] History

Located in the central area of the Alabama Territory, St. Stephens, on the Tombigbee River, was the only territorial capital; and William Wyatt Bibb was the only territorial governor. Just two years later, on December 14, 1819, Alabama was admitted to the union as the 22nd U.S. state.[1]
