Blount County, situated in the mineral region of Alabama, was established on February 6, 1818, by the Alabama Territorial Legislature. The land used to create the county was ceded to the federal government by the Creek Nation on August 9, 1814. Governor Willie Blount of Tennessee, who aided Alabama settlers during the Creek War, lent his name to the county. The county is surrounded by Cullman, Marshall, Etowah, Jefferson, Walker, and St. Clair Counties and is drained by the Locust and Mulberry Forks of the Black Warrior River. The county seat was initially established as Bear Meat Cabin in 1816 and was later incorporated as Blountsville on December 13, 1827. Oneonta, Alabama, became the county seat after an election in 1889. The county spans over 650 square miles (1,700 km2) and is home to the Warrior coal field.
