Incorporated by legislative act on December 31, 1841, the Burnt Corn Male Academy was built near here close to a fresh spring, and the spot became known as Academy Spring. Despite its name, the institution became coeducational. John Green, who started the first school in Conecuh County near here, and Dr. John Watkins, who lived and practiced nearby, were instrumental in starting the Academy.
