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.
