Coosada, Alabama
Coosada is a town in Elmore County, Alabama, United States. At the 2020 census, the population was 1,217. It is part of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area. History ''Coosawda'' was home to a Creek (Coushatta tribe) village called Koasati in the 18th and early 19th centuries. By invitation, many Chickamauga Cherokee followers of Dragging Canoe fled to the town during—and immediately following—the American War of Independence.

A land speculator from Georgia, he purchased the land that the village of Koasati occupied, and sub-divided it into lots for sale. By 1818, the town had a post office ...
