USS CONSTITUTION. The Constitution--called Old Ironsides because cannonballs could not penetrate her tough oak sides--was one of the first of the original six frigates that made up the U.S. Navy. A 44-gun frigate built at the Edmond Hartt Shipyard, Boston, MA, in 1797.
The town was named after U.S. Navy Commodore William Bainbridge, commander of the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides), and was incorporated on December 22, 1829. In 1824, Bainbridge was designated seat of the newly formed Decatur County.
