Description From Page 82 of the Prichard: An Illustrated History 1821-1926 by the Bienville Historic Society.


Prichard was incorporated mainly to avoid incorporation by the City of Mobile as there was an effort at the time for Mobile to annex territory to the north that would have included all of modern Prichard, the then Chickasaw Village, and so forth


When incorporated there were an estimated 1,000 homes and 5,000 residents generally along the corridor of Wilson Avenue north of Osage Street and also along Craft Highway of the same up to around Turner Road.


Jasper Mills was elected the first Mayor of Prichard on October 1, 1925

I have created this one as I found the results looking in a book on Prichard and because the reason why there has been an effort to abolish the Prichard Water System is in part Chickasaw being under it but also, generally the water board goes it is probably not 10 years before the city is unincorporated.


AJ Cooper (former Mayor 1972-1980) opposed the MAWSS takeover when it came for a vote, his brother was Gary Cooper who served in Alabama House 103 in the 1970s. He later served in the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
