History

Talladega County was created in 1832 from land ceded by the Creek Indians. In the Coosa River Valley, it is located near the geographic center of the state in the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region. Talladega County is bordered by the counties of Calhoun, Cleburne, Clay, Coosa, Shelby or St. Clair. Its county seat is the town of Talladega. Other significant towns include Sylacauga, Childersburg, Sycamore and Lincoln. Talladega is about 45 miles east of Birmingham, 20 miles southwest of Anniston and 80 miles north of Montgomery.
