This past Friday, my husband Cavin and I were introduced to Wetumpka, Alabama. You may or may not have heard of this small town that is just a hop, skip, and jump outside of Montgomery, Alabama. It\u2019s been getting a lot of attention lately because of HGTV and the movie The Big Fish<\/em> which was filmed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wetumpka is pronounced \u201cwe-tuhm-ka\u201d\u00a0 As you can probably imagine, it was originally settled by Creek Indians who gave it the name.\u00a0 It is derived from the Indian words \u201cwe-wau\u201d (water) and \u201ctum-cau\u201d (rumbling) in reference to a prominent point in the Coosa River where rapids raced across the river rocks.\u00a0 In 1837, the legislature divided the town and incorporated the area on the west side of the river as West Wetumpka.\u00a0 Today it is simply called Wetumpka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we drove across the massive bridge crossing the Coosa River, we were excited about what we would find in the simple small town of Wetumpka. We had left home early that morning and I\u2019m going to be honest, the small slice of banana bread I had eaten before embarking on our journey was long gone. I was hungry and couldn’t wait to get a taste of Wetumpka!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we arrived in the downtown area, we noticed a lot of activity.\u00a0 Most of the buildings appeared to be occupied by businesses such as boutiques, legal and medical offices, non-profit organizations, and of course restaurants.\u00a0 There was a hotdog stand and a deli that deserved consideration, and then we stumbled upon Coosa Cleaver<\/a> and the decision was made! \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
