About Eva, AL

Originally called Cowhead, the town began to be settled in 1820, just a year after Alabama achieved statehood. William J. Rook began a Post Office in Cowhead in 1883; however, it was closed a month later. According to local lore, at a community meeting, the town received its current name Eva in October 1883 at the suggestion of a local physician, Dr. Lewis Keller, who had just delivered a beautiful baby girl by that name, Eva Brandon.
