History

Early settlement

The area now known as McCalla, located in western Jefferson County, began attracting European-American settlers following the 1814 , which ceded Creek lands to the and opened much of central to migration from the eastern states. Early pioneers cleared the forested wilderness for agriculture, establishing small farms that relied on the region's fertile soils and proximity to water sources like the . The oldest surviving structure in the vicinity, the Sadler Plantation House, exemplifies this pioneer era; its original single-pen was constructed between 1817 and 1820 by John Loveless, a settler from , on land along Eastern Valley Road near what would become McCalla. The home was later expanded in 1835 by Isaac Wellington Sadler into a more substantial with Georgian elements, reflecting the transition from rudimentary frontier dwellings to plantation-style architecture suited for cotton and subsistence farming. Additional pioneer homes in the surrounding West Jefferson County area highlight the gradual development of settled communities during the mid-19th century. The Owen Plantation Home, built starting in 1833 by Thomas Hennington Owen and expanded in 1838, served as a residence for a family prominent in local politics and education, underscoring the role of influential settlers in shaping early social structures. Similarly, the McAdory Plantation Home, constructed around 1840 by Thomas A. McAdory Jr., represented the growing agricultural economy, with its design accommodating larger-scale farming operations. These structures, preserved by the and listed on the in the 1970s, illustrate the practical, cedar-log construction typical of Alabama's frontier homes, adapted to the local environment of rolling hills and oak-hickory forests. Throughout the , the McCalla region formed part of Alabama's early territorial landscape, where farming dominated but was increasingly supplemented by nascent iron production tied to abundant local resources. Settlers exploited deposits and timber for , laying the groundwork for industrial activity; by 1830, the nearby Tannehill Ironworks had begun operations as one of the state's first furnaces, drawing workers and spurring economic ties to broader Jefferson County development.

Naming and development

The community of McCalla, Alabama, derives its name from Richard Calvin McCalla (1826–1899), a prominent who played a pivotal role in surveying and constructing railroads across the American South during the mid-19th century.

The McCalla was established in 1873, formalizing the area's identity in his honor, after he settled in nearby Tuscaloosa County following his service as a Confederate engineer during the Civil War. A cornerstone of McCalla's early industrial development was the Tannehill , which marked the area's transition from rural farming to a hub of iron production. Initially established as a bloomery forge in 1830 by Daniel Hillman, the site expanded with the construction of three massive sandstone blast furnaces between 1859 and 1863, utilizing enslaved labor under the direction of Moses Stroup. These furnaces, known as Tannehill No. 1, produced up to 22 tons of iron daily using charcoal, water from Roupes Creek, and steam power, supplying critical materials for Confederate ordnance and civilian goods during the Civil War. The ironworks became a strategic target, suffering destruction by Union forces under General on March 31, 1865, which halted operations and shifted the site's legacy toward preservation.
