Barber Plantation

The Barber Plantation was a plantation that was located around ten miles east of Poplar Head (Dothan, Alabama) around the 1830s and 40s. There was a fort located on the plantation where the early settlers of the area would take refuge from uprisings from the Native Americans. Shortly after the Indian Wars, the fort was abandoned and faded away into the history of the area. Nothing remains of the fort today.

The exact place where the plantation and the fort was is somewhat unknown now, but they could have been close to where the unincorporated community of Barber, Alabama is today (hence the name).
