Does Nauvoo, Alabama have any historical ties to Nauvoo, Illinois? It seems like a rather unusual name for it not to. I see that both started out in respective Hancock Counties. I also see that Winston County, Alabama (formerly Hancock) refused to join the Confederacy, which made me wonder whether it contrasts demographically with the surrounding counties. -- Beland 03:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Well -- interesting little question. I didn't know, but this link says the town was renamed after Nauvoo, Illinois. [1] But it doesn't say why. Maybe more research is in order. WBardwin 04:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
