The name Gordo is believed to have come from returning veterans of the famous battle of Cerro-Gordo that occurred during the Mexican War of 1846-1848.

Title A name given to the resource Parker Towing Company Propeller, The Parker Wheel Subject The topic of the resource Towing Propellers Parker, Tim Sr., 1904-1992 Description An account of the resource Photograph of the propeller developed by Tim Parker for his towing boats and the description accompanying the display at Parker Towing Company in Northport. <br /><br />Text of the sign: <br /><br />The Parker Wheel <br /><br />Parker Towing Company founder, Captain Tim Parker (1904-1992), began his career on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee River working on and later piloting paddlewheel steamboats. In 1946 he built his first diesel powered, propeller driven boat, M/V R.G. Parker. After putting it into service, he discovered the propellers or “wheels” available at that time were designed primarily for pushing ahead and did not provide sufficient thrust when the boat was in reverse or “backing”. <br /><br />With his years of experience piloting paddle wheelers, he knew how critical “backing” was to safely navigate the narrow bends between Tuscaloosa and Mobile. Captain Parker worked with a propeller manufacturer in Mobile, Alabama to design a propeller to increase its thrust in reverse or “backing”. That propeller design became known as the “Parker Wheel”. <br /><br />The propeller on display here is of that design. It was used on the M/V Dallas, a diesel powered, twin propeller driven towboat owned by Parker Towing Company and operated for many years moving barges on rivers throughout the southeast. This propeller is made of bronze and is 72 inches in diameter with a pitch of 67 inches, manufactured by Doran Alabama Propeller Company.

At one time, University Blvd. was the gateway to Tuscaloosa from Birmingham before McFarland Blvd. or Interstate 20/59 were built. Thousands of Alabama football fans drove past the sign on game days.

Title A name given to the resource Pickensville (AL) Historic Marker Subject The topic of the resource Historic Towns - Alabama Description An account of the resource This historic marker for Pickensville was erected by the Alabama Tourism Department and the town of Pickensville in front of the Pickensville Town Hall. Erected in July 2010, the marker reads: In 1817, two years before Alabama became a state, a white man named Josiah Tilley came into the Tombigbee area which was inhabited by Indians. In 1820, the Town of Pickensville was established and named for Civil War General Andrew Pickens of South Caroling. Pickensville (located in West Central Alabama) became a booming town. There were large riverboats entering its ports delivering goods and picking up passengers traveling to Mobile, Alabama. In 1870, after the water transportation slowed, the M&O Railroad came with passenger and freight trains. There was ferry boat transportation back and forth across the Tenn-Tom River to Noxubee County, MS. It operated from 1879 to 1979. Two of its operators were war veteran Raleigh Ryan and Hezekiah Grice, both of Pickensville. There were schools, businesses, doctor's offices and churches. The Methodist Church, the oldest building in Pickensville, was founded in 1821. It was used as a hospital for the Confederate soldiers. Blacks and whites worshiped there together. The Stage Coach Inn, built in 1830, served as a stop for stage coaches traveling between Columbus, Mississippi, and Eutaw, Alabama. Pickensville First Baptist Church was founded in 1847. BB Chapel Methodist Church was founded in 1877 and St. John Missionary Baptist Church was founded in 1885. The Rosenwald School (the only school left and currently serving as Pickensville Community Center) was founded in1925 by philanthropist and founder of Sears & Roebuck, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, and Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee. Pickensville is the oldest town in Pickens County and was the first county seat. Its first mayor, a riverboat captain named Newell, died in 1843. Once a Confederate Town, Pickensville elected its first African American mayor in 2004. Mary Locke Fuseyamore. She is the granddaughter of a slave (Dora Wilkins Locke, who was born in Virginia and brought to Pickensville in the early 1800's) and the daughter of a local civil rights worker Jimmie Locke Sr. Erected by the Alabama Tourism Department and the Town of Pickensville July 2010 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Betty Slowe Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Betty Slowe Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource February, 2023 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Elizabeth Bradt (Description) Type The nature or genre of the resource Photograph Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2635 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Pickens County (AL) https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/2539/archive/files/293cf762ca379083afaa3dcc2f7ef6e2.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=tlgUy49LzDozuTSXHzvWuibmecUCZisevZdmp0Ts6xCaOPtzU6QP0Hmk9XSalHeIlEbLjoHb%7EyjqW7yBDGXLOXgEVc-npzd91pT2ac-mozqfYhmsCyg0i72E5BOJg4UGVrfWWJoGVicwEd5rWCCw4vzbV%7EGOeU7BCbpUbRn3KywdF8QgUw6oMSjk7h4BdqzS4G%7EQAmYNp9V4pVSPL8trjv9RSeNAxekafWhW6hiZ7KE-k4ZxOk%7EJuDwD9ZRDCel5jNOhFcr3tY4ysWlH7%7EYnSe3T9InKFXHZUCJ6GmNlG3sOmRDkMg3ZDcucfKvFnuj1CMeucS%7E7Z8dtMxn1N%7EzSDA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM e67eeab855b68dbf54f385550f4e933a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
