formed in 1866 from Chambers,
Tallapoosa, Macon, and
Russell counties, and today it is bordered by those
counties as well as by the Georgia counties of Harris
and Muscogee. The county lies on the eastern
part of the Black Belt and is in the Piedmont Region. The county seat is located
at Opelika. Other towns and communities include Loachapoka and Auburn, the site
of Auburn University. Opelika is on US-85 about 30 miles northwest of Columbus,
GA and 65 miles ENE of Montgomery.
