Chulafinnee is an unincorporated community in Cleburne County, Alabama, United States.
Chulafinnee was named after the nearby Chulafinnee Creek, which was derived from Creek words chuli meaning "pine" and fina meaning "footlog".
The population was smaller than that of nearby Arbacoochee (which was also formed after gold was found nearby), but considered by locals to be a more permanent town due to the greater number of brick buildings.
[4] The American geologist Eugene Allen Smith explored the old mines and examined minerals around Chulafinnee in the late 1800s.
