History
Formed in 1819 from Dallas County, Monroe County, Montgomery County and Marengo County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Wilcox County was named after Joseph M. Wilcox. Over its first decade, the county's boundaries were adjusted multiple times through gains and losses to neighboring counties, including Dallas, Clarke, Marengo, Lowndes, and Butler.
