History
Formed in 1867 from Greene County, Marengo County, Perry County and Tuscaloosa County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Hale County was created from Greene, Marengo, Perry, and Tuscaloosa counties. The county was named after Stephen F. Hale. In the years following its creation, Hale County gained territory from Perry County in 1877 and from Greene County in 1881 when the boundary line was moved to the middle of Black Warrior River.
