Against the background of the Appalachian foothills, snuggled against the Coosa river above its junction with the Tallapoosa, nestles the small city of Wetumpka. The thriving community still keeps the fascinating looks of vintage homes with tall columns and extended porches mixed with the freshly renovated architecture of the downtown area. Wetumpka is a sparking combination of the past and the present.
The Indian words WE-WAU (water), TUM-CAU (rumbling) is what gave the city it's name.
WE-WAU and TUM-CAU was the creek description of the prominent point in the Coosa where the rapids ran across the river rocks. Hence the modernized name of WETUMPKA.
The native population was influenced by the British and the French. The British-French influence created friction between the two European Countries. The financial difficulty in France effected the garrison at Fort Touluse which were finally compelled to withdraw. The French commander decommissioned his cannon and abandoned the post. Wetumpka then became a part of the British province of Illinois under the rule of Great Britain until 1798, when it became part of the US territory of Mississippi.
From 1800 to 1812 Pioneers invaded the territory in great number and caused growing unrest among the Indian population. Pioneers wanted to take over. in 1811 Shawnee Chief Tukumseh came to the creek to urge the Indians to exterminate the settlers.
In 1812 the US declared war on Britain. The Indians lost the assistance of the British but they were not deterred by fighting the settlers. When the Alabama territory was created in 1817 Wetumpka was within its boundaries. Counties were established in 1818. Western Wetumpka fell in Autauga County and the eastern side of the city fell in Coosa County. The Eastern side was incorporated on January 17, 1834. The west side was incorporated on February 18, 1834. In 1839 the two halves of the city were jointly incorporated. When Elmore County was created in 1866 Wetumpka was chosen as the site for the County Court House.
