Description

Perspective map of Selma, Ala. county seat of Dallas County 1887. Drawn by H. Wellge. Beck & Pauli Lith. Co.

Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Selma, Alabama drawn and published by Henry Wellge & Co. in 1887. Selma was incorporated in 1820 along the banks of the Alabama River in the area said to be the meeting point between Chief Tuskaloosa and explorer Hernando de Soto. During the American Civil War, Selma was an important manufacturer of warships and munitions for southern troops. This made the town a constant target for Union raids. Eventually Selma would fall into northern hands with the "Battle of Selma", and would be looted and burned. Its naval foundry and arsenal was destroyed. St. Paul's Episcopal Church was burned to the ground, but was rebuilt by 1871. In 1866 Selma was made county seat of Dallas County.
