The 11th Alabama Infantry Regiment was mustered in at Lynchburg, Virginia, on June 17, 1861.

Some of the companies making up the regiment had been already in service for several months at the time of mustering.

The colors of the 11th Alabama Infantry were captured at the Battle of Antietam by the 57th New York Volunteers and was later one of 19 captured rebel flags stored in General McClellan's tent before being delivered to the U.S. War Department in October 1862.

An additional 170 men were discharged from the regiment and 80 were transferred to other units.
