The spot now known as Gadsden was first settled by a mixed white/Indian man named John Riley around 1825. He built near two springs and the place was called Double Springs. About 15 years later a couple named Gabriel and Asenath Hughes acquired the house and also bought much of the land which is now within the city proper. The name Gadsden was adopted around 1845 in honor of Col. James Gadsden. It was incorporated in 1871.
