History

Formed in 1866 from Butler County, Coffee County, Covington County, Lowndes County, Pike County and Montgomery County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Crenshaw County was created from Butler, Coffee, Covington, Lowndes, and Pike; a provision that would have included part of Montgomery in Crenshaw was never implemented. The county experienced numerous boundary adjustments in its early years, exchanging small areas with neighboring counties Butler, Coffee, Covington, Lowndes, and Pike between 1867 and 1893.
