Arkadelphia, Alabama : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arkadelphia, Alabama
Arkadelphia is an unincorporated community located in far southern Cullman County, Alabama, United States. It is situated just a few miles southwest of the town of Colony. ==History== Arkadelphia was settled in the 19th century, with a post office opening in 1854. The town's namesake is disputed. Some believe Arkadelphia was the name of the wife of the first postmaster John A. Donaldson. Some believe it is a combination of "Ark-", the name of an early settlement in nearby Winston County, and "-adelphia", a pseudo-Greek combination meaning "brother-place," likely taken from Philadelphia.〔Foscue, Virginia. ''Place Names in Alabama''. University: U of Alabama Press, 1989.〕 There is no known connection to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, an incorporated city founded in 1809 and renamed Arkadelphia in 1839. Arkadelphia, Alabama is located on Alabama Highway 91.
