== Fun facts ==
* Prattville was founded in 1839 by industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt. The area was largely inhabited by Native Americans and a few settlers when Pratt, a native of Temple, New Hampshire, first observed the Autauga Creek in the 1830s. He purchased approximately 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) from Joseph May at $21.00 an acre, and set out to build his manufacturing facilities and the town along the banks of Autauga Creek. The location was chosen because the creek could supply power to the cotton gin manufacturing equipment. The town became an industrial center and rapidly grew. In 1868, it was named the county seat for Autauga County.
* The city has become a popular golf destination, featuring the Capitol Hill golf courses (part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail). Its Senator Course hosted the Navistar (now Yokohama Tire) LPGA Classic on the LPGA Tour from 2007 through 2012 when Navistar ended its sponsorship. There was no LPGA event at this course in 2013. The 2014 event, now known as the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic after its new sponsor, was scheduled for September 18–21.
* Prattville has plenty of amenities to offer. The city has High Point Town Center along with a few other shopping centers, dollar stores, a bit of auto parts places and car dealerships, some local restaurants and businesses, plenty of fast food, Walmart, Nintendo World, Bass Pro Shops, Target, Home Depot, a bit of hotels, a bit of chain restaurants, a sports complex, Prattville-Grouby Field, plenty of public battle fields, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Winn-Dixie, and a bit of other things.
* Prattville is the birthplace of R&B pioneer figure Wilson Pickett.
* A popular ghost-story known as "The Black Lady," inspired by deaths caused by poor working conditions in the nearby factories of downtown Prattville, is a popular phenomenon described by most as a black, ghastly figure that goes across the nearby dam during the night hours of 1 A.M to 4 A.M, and has been featured on the ghost hunting show Deep South Paranormal.
