Cullman is an excellent place to live, work and play. I found here all that I had been looking for, all that I regarded as necessary to make good homes, there was here combined things to an extent not equaled by any other place that I had seen. Cullman was founded in 1873, by Colonel John G. Cullmann, a German refugee who came to America in 1866, and settled for a while in Cincinnati, Ohio, working as a clerk in a book store. With a dream of building a thriving colony for German refugees and immigrants, Col. Cullmann bought from Louisville and Nashville RR, property stretching 180 miles long and 30 miles wide. This amounted to several hundred thousand acres of land.
