Prichard began as a settlement in the 1830's bordering the Telegraph Road (known now as U.S Highway 43) It remained largely unsettled until the Clotilde landed in Mobile Bay prior to the Civil War. Africatown evolved into a greater part of the Plateau/Magazine area which developed along Telegraph Road, and eventually, Plateau and Magazine had their territory split between Mobile and Prichard.
Today, the City of Prichard has emerged into a growing city. Despite the city's rocky past, the City of Prichard has been reborn.
