During the condemnation of all the property on the 2100 block and 2200 block of 6 Street back in 2005, I decided to write a text for a historical marker concerning the 1821 Tuscaloosa town plat. I thought a good place to put it would be that little triangular block in front of the old location of Sam Jackson's @ the intersection of 21st Avenue and Queen City. :

THE TOWN PLAT OF TUSCALOOSA, 1821

 On October 4, 1816, the Choctaw Indians extinguished their title to this property when they signed a treaty which ceded all of their remaining land east of the Tombigbee River to the United States. On March 3, 1817,the U.S. Congress reserved from public land sale this Fractional Section 22 of Township 21 South, Range 10 West(Huntsville Meridian). Queen City Avenue runs north to south along the eastern margin line of this land section.
