Plantersville is an unincorporated community in Dallas County, Alabama, United States.[2] It lies near the county's border with Autauga and Chilton counties. Plantersville was named for the local cotton planters and plantations. The town is home to Dallas County High School and J. E. Terry Elementary School.
History
The original name of the town was Corinth. The post office was established in 1867.
After the Civil War Battle of Ebenezer Church (April 1, 1865), Union troops burned the railroad depot at Plantersville and a cotton warehouse. Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson's troops spent the night camped in Plantersville, then on to the Battle of Selma the next day.
Pickering's Grocery Store has been replaced by a nice gas station and convenience store. Noodie's BBQ closes down due to Mr. Noodie retiring, but you can still purchase his sauce from many regional grocers.
