History
Formed in 1821 from Henry County and Montgomery County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Pike County experienced numerous boundary changes in its early decades, gaining and losing land to neighboring counties including Montgomery, Dale, Butler, and Covington. In 1832, the county lost territory to the creation of Barbour, Macon, and Russell counties, and continued to adjust its borders through exchanges with Dale and other neighboring counties.
