Sweet Home Alabama is a song by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd that first appeared in 1974 on their second album, Second Helping. It reached number 8 on the US chart in 1974 and was the band's second hit single.
Sweet Home was a wintering ground for the wagoneers who transported supplies on the cotton road between Alleyton and Brownsville during the Civil War. In the 1870s the Czechs and Germans arrived. The San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad came through in 1887, but missed the town by five miles. Many Sweet Homers moved to the railroad, but a few stayed. Sweet Home still has two cemeteries, reflecting the move of years ago.
