History of Pickens County, AL
Pickens County was established on December 20, 1820, and named for revolutionary war hero General Andrew Pickens of South Carolina . The county seat was relocated from Pickensville to Carrollton in 1830 . The first courthouse in Carrollton was burned on April 5, 1865, by troops of Union General John T. Croxton . A second courthouse was also destroyed by fire on November 16, 1876. Though arson was suspected, no arrest was made until January 1878 , when Henry Wells , an African American with some criminal history was arrested and locked in the garett of the new building, which had been erected in 1877 . According to legend, Wells was peering down from the north garett window as a mob gathered to hang him. A bolt of lightning struck nearby and "etched" Wells' anguished face into the window glass. A vague image resembling a face can still be seen in that lower right-hand pane of that window. Also see: Pickens County Courthouse .
