Sulligent is a city in Lamar County, Alabama, United States. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 2,151. The name is derived from railroad personnel. == History == Sulligent was first called "Elliott" named in honor of the chief engineer of the Kansas City-Memphis-Birmingham Railroad, renamed one month later, “Sulligent”, in honor of Sullivan, the superintendent of the railroad, and in honor of Sargeant, the passenger agent of the railroad. The town was incorporated October 1887. S. F. Pennington owned the first general store and Dr. R. J. Redden owned the first drugstore. The production and processing of cotton was an important industry. The primary business in Sulligent in the mid-1890s was cotton with over 2500 bales ginned each year and shipped by way of the railroad. At one time Sulligent Cotton Oil Company was known as the largest cotton gin under one roof. Sulligent is home to Lamar County's only structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Greer Bankhead House. It predates the city by almost four decades. 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「Sulligent, Alabama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
