      Marengo County was created by the Alabama Territorial legislature on Feb. 6, 1818, from land acquired from the Choctaw Indians by the treaty of Oct. 24, 1816. The name of the county was suggested by Judge Abner Lipscombe, and was given as a compliment to the first white settlers, expatriated French citizens and commemorative of Napoleon's great victory at Marengo over the Austrian armies on June 14, 1800.
      Marengo County is situated in the west-central part of the state. It is bordered by Hale , Greene , Perry , Dallas , Wilcox , Clarke , Choctaw and Sumter counties. The county seat was originally known as "Town of Marengo." In 1823 the name was changed to Linden, a shortened version of "Hohenlinden," scene of a French victory in Bavaria in 1800.
      Other towns and communities include Demopolis, where French expatriates settled and formed the Vine and Olive Colony, Myrtlewood and Sweet Water. Courthouse fires occurred in 1848 and 1965. There was record loss due to a couthouse fire in 1848 and 1965
