History
Birmingham was laid out in 1868 by Solomon Jones and Isaac Caulk.[3] It may be named after the industrial city of Birmingham, England.[4] Soon after it was platted, Birmingham contained a flour mill, a blacksmith shop and a general store.[5] A post office was established at Birmingham in 1862, and remained in operation until 1901.[6]
