Bottle Creek Indian Mounds
Humans have lived in and around the Delta dating back to at least 1500 BC. Deep in the Delta are the Bottle Creek Indian Mounds, atop which leaders of a Mississippian Period Indian culture lived around 700 years ago. These prehistoric societies by the 15th century were replaced by new tribes such as the Alabamous, Mobilians, and Taensa.
The Bottle Creek Indian Mounds were listed with the National Register of Historic Places 1974 2 December.
