This combination creates a feeling of charm and vitality. It is not unusual to see a pastoral scene with the airspace dominated by aircraft.
Coffee County enjoys a rich history.
700 B.C. During the European settlement period, the area was border country between the Spanish, British, and French. In modern times the area has become known as part of the Wiregrass, named after the grass that once grew profusely in the region. Coffee County was named for John Coffee, an Alabama Commander in the Creek Indian Battle and the Battle of New Orleans. The first federal land sale in what was to become Coffee County was made in 1812. This land, near Perry's Store on the Elba-Kinston Highway, was purchased by John D. Player.
