Tallapoosa County, Alabama
Tallapoosa County · Dadeville is the seat · Alexander City is the large city, not the hall · Montgomery is still the capital
Dadeville is the seat. Alexander City is the large city, not the hall.
Tallapoosa County, Alabama, was erected 18 December 1832 from Creek cession land and named for the Tallapoosa River. Dadeville became the seat in 1838. Dadeville is the seat. Alexander City is the largest city. Alexander City is not the county government. Camp Hill, Daviston, Goldville, New Site, and Jacksons’ Gap are municipalities. They are not the hall. Tallassee is split with Elmore — East Tallassee is this map; Tallassee City Hall is not this county hall. Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is federal NPS. It is not this Sheriff. This is not Tallapoosa, Georgia (Haralson County). This is not Talladega County. Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. It does not sit here. Dadeville is not the capital.
Places include Dadeville, Alexander City, Camp Hill, Daviston, Goldville, New Site, Jacksons’ Gap, and the Tallapoosa share of Tallassee. 2020 census: 41,311. Alexander City was about 14,843; Dadeville was about 3,084. The large city does not move the hall. This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — lake-and-mill remainder patrol and the Industrial Park Drive house this badge still holds — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Tallapoosa County.
Five Commissioners on Broadnax. They do not sit in Alexander City as this county.
Tallapoosa is a five-member County Commission. There is no elected County Executive. Commission, Probate, and the courthouse sit at 125 North Broadnax Street, Dadeville, AL 36853. They fund roads, the jail, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Dadeville City Council is a city body. Alexander City Council is a city body.
The Tallapoosa County Courthouse is at 125 N. Broadnax Street. Circuit Clerk / Absentee Election Manager lists that Broadnax door (Room 132 for the clerk). Board of Registrars lists Room 20. A city hall in Alexander City is not this county. Lake Martin is water. It is not the hall.
The Sheriff is four years, Article V § 138, 2026 with the Governor. Take office 18 January 2027. The Mayor of Dadeville is a city clock. The Mayor of Alexander City is a city clock.
Lake Martin, U.S. 280, the Tallapoosa. This is not Tallapoosa, Georgia.
U.S. 280 is the through road. Alabama 49 crosses Dadeville. Lake Martin and Martin Dam sit on the Tallapoosa. Clay is north. Randolph is northeast. Chambers is east. Lee is southeast. Macon is south. Elmore is southwest. Coosa is west. Staff who paste an Alexander City mill postcard onto Broadnax as the hall, or treat Tallapoosa, Georgia, as this courthouse, or file “the lake as this government,” are on the wrong county.
How a Dadeville public finds Broadnax and Industrial Park Drive
Courthouse / Circuit Clerk / Absentee / Commission / Probate: 125 North Broadnax Street, Dadeville. Sheriff headquarters and Jail: 316 Industrial Park Drive, Dadeville, AL 36853 (tallaco.com and the Secretary of State listing). Confirm live addresses on those doors. A student who only knows an Alexander City photograph has not found this hall. A student who only knows Tallapoosa, Georgia, has not found Alabama.
316 Industrial Park Drive still jails. Alexander City PD does not. ADOC does not.
Crime in unincorporated Tallapoosa — Camp Hill country, Daviston, Jacksons’ Gap remainder, the lake roads outside city limits — is this Sheriff. Crime in Dadeville is often Dadeville Police. Crime in Alexander City is often Alexander City Police. This Sheriff is not Alexander City PD. The Tallapoosa County Jail at 316 Industrial Park Drive is this Sheriff’s house — the same campus as headquarters. It is not a separate county Department of Corrections that took the jail. It is not ADOC. Alex City Community Work Center is a state community facility. Do not paste it onto Industrial Park Drive as this jail. Do not send a family looking for a county booking to Alexander City Police or to Georgia. Civil process and court security at 125 North Broadnax are the Sheriff. Rights do not change at the lake. Remedy for Alexander City Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when Lake Martin fog sits on 280 is this count first.
Care without inventing a lakeside chapel as this county
A peace order served in unincorporated Camp Hill. A transport from 316 Industrial Park Drive to 125 North Broadnax without becoming Alexander City Police. Do not invent a church. Do not invent Horseshoe Bend as this badge.
What a Dadeville courthouse actually watches
Court calendar on Broadnax. A wreck on U.S. 280. Fog on Lake Martin. A night road outside Daviston. Coordination with Alexander City PD, Dadeville PD, and ALEA without becoming those departments. Coordination with Elmore’s Sheriff or Chambers’s Sheriff is mutual aid between two offices, not a merger. A Montgomery photograph does not steal the capital. An Alexander City rumor does not steal the seat.
