Double Springs was incorporated on May 17, 1943 THE CHEATHAM ROAD Wyatt Cheatham recognized the need for a central road from Moulton to Tuscaloosa. By an act of the Alabama Legislature in 1824, Cheatham was authorized to build the road. The road was to begin 7 miles south of Moulton running thence in a direction of Tuscaloosa, the nearest and best way for a good road. The road was to be 18 feet wide and 12 feet cleared of stumps and grubs. Where you stand now looking south along Main Street (in Double Springs) is the route of the old road. Wyatt Cheatham and Mathew Payne, a Revolutionary War Soldier, while surveying the old road discovered two springs and named them Double Springs. Information compliments of http://wcgs.ala.nu/.
