History
The community was named for Fort Chinnabee, which was in turn named for Chinneby, who was a Creek chief. Chinneby is most likely derived from the Muscogee words achina meaning "cedar" and api meaning "tree".[2] Chinnabee is located on the former Louisville and Nashville Railroad.[3]
A post office operated under the name Chinnibee from 1840 to 1884.[4]
The Chinnabee Cotton Mills Corporation was incorporated in 1902.[5] The mill operated at least 1,500 spindles and produced yarn.[6]
Fort Chinnabee
Fort Chinnabee was a defensive stockade built in 1813 by Chief Chinnabee and other friendly Creeks for protection against Red Sticks during the Creek War.[7] The fort was built three miles north of Chinnabee's village on the north shore of Choccolocco Creek near the influx of Wolfskull Creek, six miles east of Oxford.[8]
