Mardisville, also known as Jumpers Spring, is an unincorporated community in Talladega County, Alabama, United States.

History

The community was originally called Jumpers Spring, purportedly named after a local Creek Indian who lived in the area.[2] A United States General Land Office opened in 1834 and remained in Mardisville until 1842.[3] The community was renamed Mardisville in honor of Samuel Wright Mardis, who served as the land agent until his death. At one point, the community was home to a sixteen-room tavern, wood shop, tailor shop, general store, cake shop, bakery, and several churches.[4] A post office called Mardisville was established in 1833, and remained in operation until 1881.[5]

Notable people

  • Joab Lawler, U.S. Representative from 1835 to 1838
  • Micah Taul, U.S. Representative from Kentucky from 1815 to 1817. Moved to Mardisville. Grandfather of Taul Bradford.
