The Henry County Historical Group in Alabama dedicated two historical markers to mark the Indian Treaty Boundary of the Creek Nation.
The boundary was drawn in 1814 following the defeat of the Creek Nation by General Andrew Jackson. The line remained until the Creek Treaty of Washington in 1832, which required the tribe to "cede to the United States all their land, East of the Mississippi river" [Creek Treaty].
The markers are located Highway 95 and Highway 97.
