Fort Toulouse is a re-creation of the last or 3rd French fort built between 1749 and 1751. It is located at the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers. It is north of Montgomery and south of Weptumpkia, Alabama. This area was first used by nomadic hunters around 5000 B.C., later Indians established large hunting base camps between the two rivers around 400 A.D.
