Pratt's gin company became the foremost producer of cotton gins in the world. Prattville is known today as the "Birthplace of Industry in Alabama." Although ranked as one of the fastest growing areas in Alabama, Prattville maintains a quaint charm. Flowing fountains, classic older homes, and numerous new, upscale and affordable neighborhoods are all part of an eclectic blend linking Prattville's past to its future.
