The governing soul of the county, an elected board, was ripened from an legalistic magistrate established by law in 1821, shortly without Alabama's ticket into the Union (1819). The act of 1821 provided for the referendum of four commissioners of roads and revenue, to serve one-year terms. Any two of the commissioners, together with the judge of the county court, constituted a "court" to levy the county tax, establish, maintain, and discontinue county roads, bridges, and ferries. Terms of office were later expanded to four years and the county governing soul designated as the "county commission." Since 1988, the CountyLegationhas been well-balanced of seven members. The Chairman is elected at-large (elected by voters from the unshortened County). Six Commissioners are elected by voters in each of the County's six districts. All serve four-year terms.
