Barbour

Barbour County was created in 1832 from lands acquired from the Creeks in the Treaty of Fort Jackson. Clayton, the county seat, boasts one of the few octagon houses in the state. The town of Eufaula is home to the second largest historic district in the state and a park that honors six Barbour County citizens who have served as Alabama governors. The county is located on the Chattahoochee River and the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest preserved natural areas in the state.
