Geocache Description:

This bridge and river have a long history in our town. At the entrance to our town on Highway 84.

Pea River History is a vital part of the history of Elba. The Creek Indians named the river Talakhatchee but the early settlers rejected the name. In the Creek language, talak means pea and hatchee means stream, branch, or small river. The Talakhatchee River is a sister stream of the Choctawhatchee River, whose name was not rejected. Pea River is about 120 miles long. It emerges from a swamp in Bullock County near Union Springs and joins her sister river at Geneva. About half of the river is located in Coffee County.
Almost every generation of Elba citizens has had a flood story about Pea River to pass on. The history of Elba is water marked with stories of floods and high water problems. March is the month the floods usually come.
