Interesting and Historic Polkville Furnace in Calhoun County
In Calhoun County lore, the Polkville furnace near Ohatchee may have been Alabama’s first heated iron plant, possibly pre dating the Polkville site. Builders Moore and Shepperd, with Noah Goode as general manager, funded and operated the plant, later renamed Goode & Moore. The facility used water power, a dam on Cane Creek, trip hammers, and a later turbine, producing wrought iron and other goods hauled to Riverside and West Pointka by flatboats. The old plant, damaged in the Civil War, was rebuilt postwar but faced further changes under Crow Morris and Brothers, who carried on iron production with new dam construction.
