Demopolis, Alabama is the largest city in Marengo County and is home to approximately 8,000 residents. Demopolis is located in Alabama’s Black Belt and lies within Webb’s Bend at the confluence of the Tombigbee and Black Warrior Rivers. The town’s historic preservation and expanding commercial growth have given it the nickname “The Jewel of the Black Belt”. Citizens of Demopolis take advantage of the city’s river location by participating in water sports and fishing the plentiful rivers. Demopolis is best known throughout the South for its Christmas on the River Festival which features a nautical parade of floats.

The present site of Demopolis was founded by a group of French expatriates in the early nineteenth century. They were required by the federal government to cultivate grape vines and olive trees in exchange for the purchase of land in the area. By 1817, a small party of pioneers had settled at White Bluff on the Tombigbee River, at the present site of Demopolis, founding the Vine and Olive Colony. After the French expatriates failed in their venture to develop the area, the Vine and Olive Colony moved away and American settlers quickly purchased the property of the former French settlement. They intended to turn the area into a major riverport. Demopolis was formed and incorporated in 1821.

Major roads include two U.S. Highways, U.S. Highway 80 runs east to west, and U.S. Highway 43 north to south.
