Suggsville is an unincorporated community in Clarke County, Alabama.[1] It was laid out as a town in 1819 at the crossing of the Old Line Road and Federal Road. The name was chosen in honor of a local storekeeper, William Suggs. The first newspaper in Clarke County was published here, the Clarke County Post.[2] The town had many residences, stores, and male and female academies prior to the American Civil War, but declined rapidly in the post-war period.[3]
The community has one site on the National Register of Historic Places, the Stephen Beech Cleveland House, better known today as "The Lodge".[4]
