Cordova, Alabama A Little History Lesson

image

Cordova, AL is a city that was shaped by coal mining and a textile mill, and is now rising from the destruction of an EF-3 and an EF-4 tornado in April of 2011. The city was dubbed Cordova by Captain Benjamin Long after previously being referred to as "Dent" or "Dent's Place." Captain Long settled in the city in the late 1850s and forever shaped the landscape of the city. He lured many industries to the city, including a textile mill that has shaped the industrial and residential face of the city to this very day.
