Alexander City is known for its Martin Dam and Lake Martin which was the largest man-made lake of its time back in 1926; as well as the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park. The park honors Major General Andrew Jackson’s battle on the Tallapoosa River which ended the Creek War and turned Andrew Jackson into a military hero.
