When was Demopolis founded?
Demopolis, Alabama
The struggle to rebuild the economy of Demopolis and the surrounding region continued into the 20th century. The growing, trading, and milling of cotton continued to be a major basis of the economy up until the World War I-era.  The boll weevil infestations of the 1920s and the Great Depression of the 1930s finally ended the one-crop farming system.[29]
