Longmire Stagecoach Stop & First Post Office in Conecuh County

Near here, Garrett Longmire operated an early trading center, tavern, and stage stop. When his store became a post office in 1818, he served as postmaster at one of the earliest post offices in what was then the Alabama Territory. The Burnt Corn Post Office served as a distribution point for mail to many early post offices in south Alabama. In December of 1820, Longmire became Justice of the Conecuh County Court.
