About Bibb County

Bibb County, a rural area in the foothills of the Appalachians, was originally named Cahawba County by the legislature in 1818. Alabamians wanted Alabama's first capitol built in Bibb County, but problems with mosquitoes made them reconsider and choose Tuscaloosa. Today, the county is home to an estimated 18,926 people, 22.4 percent of whom are black and 77.3 percent white. Centerville is the county seat.

The county's dominant crop is timber. The county has five elementary schools, one middle school, one junior high school, and two high schools. Sixty-three (63) percent of its adults have completed high school.

In May, the shoals of the Cahaba River turn snow-white with the blooms of the rare, endangered Cahaba Lily. The lily blooms only in Bibb and surrounding counties.
