Hillabee was an important Muscogee (Creek) town in east central Alabama before the Indian Removals of the 1830s. Hillabee was the center of a cluster of towns and villages, known as the Hillabee complex or, simply, Hillabee. The people living in the Hillabee complex area are sometimes called the Hillabees. That name does not refer to a separate tribe or clan but merely those Muscogees who lived in the Hillabee complex area.〔〔 The word "Hillabee" comes from the Muscogee language word ''helvpe'' /hílapi/, meaning quick or swift, perhaps referring to the streams in the area.〔 ==Location== Hillabee and its satellite villages were located along Little Hillabee Creek and Enitachopco Creek where they join to form Big Hillabee Creek. Villages within the complex, along these streams, included Echoseis Ligau, Enitachopko, Lanudshi Apala, and Oktasassi.〔 Nearby towns and villages associated with Hillabee include Oakfuskee, Little Oakfuskee, and Atchinalgi. Today the area is in southern Clay County and northern Tallapoosa County, north of Alexander City. The present-day villages of Millerville and Bluff Springs lie within the former Hillabee complex area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hillabee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
