History

Coffee County was formed in 1841 from Dale County. It is part of the five-county southeastern corner of Alabama known as the Wiregrass, which is part of the Southeastern Plains Region. Coffee is bordered by Pike, Dale, Geneva, Covington and Crenshaw counties. The county seat was first at Wellborn, and since 1851 at Elba, which was once called Bentonville. Other towns and communities include Enterprise, Kinston, and New Brockton. Elba is on US-84, about 40 miles west of Dothan and 75 miles south of Montgomery.
