Covington County
History
Covington County
was formed in 1821 from Henry County and subsequently
gave up land to Crenshaw and
Conecuh counties. It is located in the south-central part of the state in
the Southeastern Plains Region. The southwestern portion of the county contains
the Conecuh National Forest. Covington is bordered by
Escambia, Conecuh, Butler,
Crenshaw, Coffee and
Geneva counties, and to the south by the Florida
counties of Okaloosa and
Walton. The county seat was first established at
Montezuma, but when it was devastated by flood in 1841, the county seat was
established on higher ground in a new town called Andalusia. Other towns include
Opp, Red Level, and Florala. Andalusia is on US-29 and US-84, about 90 miles
south of Montgomery and 125 miles northeast of Mobile.
