A short history of Ohatchee

Andrew Jackson used the area around present-day Ohatchee to prepare for the Battle of Talladega. Lyncoya Jackson was orphaned by the Battle of Tallushatchee in November 1813 and later sent to Jackson's Hermitage in Tennessee where he was raised. Lyncoya died of tuberculosis in 1828.

The site of the battle is marked with a large stone marker along Alabama Highway 144 between Alexandria and Ohatchee, near Tallaseehatchee Creek.

Between 1863 and 1864, Alfred A. Janney built a furnace, now named Janney Furnace, to produce pig iron for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The furnace never went into production, but locals often speak of the quality of the construction because the structure was supposedly built by slaves. The site is now a part of the Calhoun County Park System and features a Civil War memorial alongside a Civil War and Native American museum.
