If Ditto, a Pennsylvanian, was not the first settler, as it is said that he was, living among the Indians in the Chickasaw Old Fields in 1804, then the honor must be conceded to Joseph and Isaac Criner. These two men with Stephen McBroom explored the northern part of the county in 1804.

Huntsville and Madison County did not rush eagerly into secession in 1861.

Nevertheless, when war came both the city and county promptly rallied to the defense of their State. Madison County provided 10 infantry companies, 8 cavalry companies, and one artillery battery to the Confederate Army. At least two more infantry companies had been formed in 1861, but were disbanded because Alabama could not accept any more troops at that time. In addition, six Confederate home guard units existed from mid

The first official federal census was taken in Madison County, Alabama in 1830. From there, every 10 years, the federal government has taken a census of the population of Madison County.

Starting in 1870 all residents of Madison County were enumerated regardless of their race. All the
