:''There is also a Nauvoo, Illinois.'' Nauvoo is a town in Walker and Winston counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2000 census, the population of the town is 284. Camp McDowell, the official camp and conference center of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, is located nearby. ==History== Nauvoo was founded in 1888, during the construction of the Northern Alabama Railway, and was formerly a center of coal mining. Originally known as Ingle Mills, it was renamed by resident Tom Carroll for unknown reasons in honor of Nauvoo, Illinois, a city founded by Mormon prophet Joseph Smith in 1839.〔http://www.walkerweb.net/towns/nauvoo.htm〕 Image:Scan0043.jpg Image:Coalmine_Nauvoo_resized.jpg 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「Nauvoo, Alabama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
