The Creek War and the War of 1812
Tuckaubatchee
Tuckaubatchee was a major Creek population and political center located on the west bank of the Tallapoosa River in current day Elmore County. The town was the site of the Creek annual council where Tecumseh made his impassioned speech in September of 1811 urging the Creeks to take up arms against white men.
The town site is located south of the town of Tallassee, Alabama, off Highway 229. It is unmarked and lies on private land. A marker commemorating the site stands across the street from a city park in the town of Tallassee.
