"REFORM" IN PICKENS COUNTY, ALABAMA
Possessing one of the most unusual names in United States, REFORM has caused many people to wonder about its origin. Between 1803 and 1812, there was only a rawhide settlement of a few shanties and a saloon that drew a rowdy, mostly male population who emigrated from South Carolina in search of a less law-enforced environment.
Then along came Lorenzo "Crazy" Dow, an eccentric Methodist missionary, who attempted to hold a revival . He met with no encouragement from these early settler who were not very religious meeting in disgust, saddled his horse, mounted it, and was riding away when one of the men shouted to him, "Parson, we haven't a name for our town. What would you suggest?" Showing an aversion for the entire group, Dow replied, "Call it REFORM! Brethren, call it REFORM!" The name REFORM stuck, but it was not actually used in print until 1842 in one of the first newspapers. Newspapers during the time in rural areas usually reprinted news from larger urban areas so that only very little local news was given.
REFORM was incorporated in 1898, the same year that the first railroad came through town. In 1912, reports say that 54 whistles blew in town or near town daily, attesting to the importance of the lumber business in the area. Corn and later, cotton, continued as major agriculture products until after World War II, but our forests have probably been the most influential natural resource to the area.
