A BRIEF HISTORY OF ANDALUSIA & COVINGTON COUNTY,ALABAMA (PART1)
Indian mounds,arrowheads and other artifacts indicate that the Creek Indians originally inhabited the Covington County,Alabama area. Early explorers to the area included Ponce de Leon and DeSoto. It's from this Spanish influence that it is believed the name Andalusia comes from.
The combination of the Spanish words Ande, "to walk" and Lutier "easy" make the meaning of Andalusia " to walk easy" or a comfortable and easy place to be.There is also an Andalusia Province in Spain.
