Hillabee

Hillabee was an important Muscogee (Creek) town in east central Alabama before the Indian Removals of the 1830s.

Villages within the complex, along these streams, included Echoseis Ligau, Enitachopko, Lanudshi Apala, and Oktasassi.

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the complex lay in the approximate center of the Creek Confederacy's territory.

[5] A large number of Hillabee Creeks fought General Andrew Jackson's forces at Talladega.

Feeling betrayed, the Hillabees returned to the Red Stick alliance and remained bitter enemies of the Americans for the rest of the war.

After the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson the United States and white settlers build or improved a number of roads crossing Creek lands.
