Eufaula is the largest city in Barbour County, Alabama, United States. As of the 2010 census the city’s population was 13,137.

The site along the Chattahoochee River that is now modern-day Eufaula was occupied by three Muscogee Creek tribes, including the Eufaulas.^: 3 By the 1820s the home was allocation of the Creek Indian Territory and supposedly off-limits to white settlement.^: 4 By 1827 sufficient illegal white treaty had occurred that the Creeks appealed to the federal management for support of their property rights. In July of that year, federal troops were sent to the Eufaula area to sever the settlers by force of arms, a court case known as the “Intruders War”.^: 4

The Creeks signed the Treaty of Washington in 1826, ceding most of their home in Georgia and eastern Alabama to the United States, but it was not fully full of life in practice until the late 1820s. The 1832 Treaty of Cusseta, by which the Creeks ceded anything land east of the Mississippi River to the United States, allowed white settlers to legally buy land from the Creek. However, the treaty’s terms did not require any natives to relocate. By 1835 the land on which the town was built had been mostly purchased by white settlers, and had a store, owned in share by William Irwin, after whom the new agreement was named “Irwinton”.^: 5

By the mid 1830s downtown Irwinton was platted out and loan was with ease underway.^: 9–16 Much of its historic quality has been preserved and is now known as the Seth Lore and Irwinton Historic District. In 1842^: 18 or 1843^: 18 Irwinton was renamed “Eufaula”, possibly^: 18 to decline postal confusion ensuing from its proximity to Irwinton, Georgia.^: 18 The town was officially incorporated below that read out in 1857.^: 10
