| Description | Montgomery County was created by the Mississippi Territory General Assembly on 1816 Dec. 6. It is located in the south-central part of the state and is bounded on the north by the Alabama and Tallapoosa Rivers. It encompasses 793 square miles.
The county was named in honor of Major Lemuel Putnam Montgomery (Tennessee) who was killed in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, 1814. The county seat was established in Montgomery, which was also selected as the state capital in 1846. Other significant communities include Hope Hull, Ramer, Pike Road and Mt. Meigs.
The governing body of Montgomery County is the Montgomery County Commission, consisting of five members who are elected by districts. Each Commissioner is elected to a four-year term and represents approximately 45,000 constituents. The Chairperson and Vice Chair are selected by a majority vote of the Commission.
The Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month. The Information Session begins at 9:00 a.m. followed by the Formal Session at 10:00 a.m. Commission Meetings are held in the Commission Chamber located on the first floor of the Montgomery County Administration Building, Courthouse Annex III, located at 101 S. Lawrence Street.
For more information on Commission meetings, contact the Administrator's Office at 334-832-1210. |
