Description

Anniston, Ala. 1887. Beck & Pauli Lith. Co.

Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Anniston, Alabama drawn and published by Henry Wellge & Co. for the Anniston City Land Company in 1887. Rich mineral deposits made Anniston an important asset to the Confederate States of America during the Civil War where an iron furnace had been established. Union troops destroyed the furnace in 1865. In 1872 the furnace was rebuilt on a grander scale by The Woodstock Iron Company, and a town was planned. The initial name for the town was "Woodstock", but was soon after dubbed Anniston, after Annie Scott Tyler, the wife of a Union railroad president, General Daniel Tyler. Anniston's economy was boosted by the iron, steel and clay pipe industry. The Noble Institute was established in 1886 as a school for girls.
