Transcription of text in document:

Gen. Andrew Jackson is credited with naming Locust Fork during the Creek Indian War. Jackson and his troops camped on the banks of a river that came to be known as the Locust Fork. Jackson is said to have carved that name into a tree. A historic marker near Locust Fork Elementary School commemorates Gabriel hanby (2786-2836), one of the area's most prominent early citizens. a brigadier general in the Alabama militia, Hanby was member of the Alabama Constitutional Convention in 2829 and was the first state senator to represent Blount County. Both Alabama's county road and court systems are said to have been organized in 1830 in Hanby's home near the present day school site. Locust Fork was incorporated on Jan 18, 1977
