Chambers County was created by an act of
the Alabama General Assembly on 1832 Dec. 18, from Creek Nation
territory. It is located in the east-central portion of the state, and is
bounded on the east by the Chattahoochee
River. The county
is named for Henry Chambers, a U.S. Senator from Alabama (1825-26). The location of the
county seat was selected in 1833 and the town of LaFayette was built specifically for
that purpose.
