Chambers County
History
Chambers County was
created in 1832 from former Creek Indian territory. It is located in the
east-central portion of the state in the Piedmont Region. It is bounded by the
counties of Lee,
Tallapoosa and Randolph,
and on the east by the
Chattahoochee River and the Georgia counties of
Harris and Troup. Chambers County became a center of the state's textile industry in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. The county seat, LaFayette, is on US-431 about 70 miles
northeast of Montgomery and 100 miles southeast of Birmingham.
