Prattville is a city in Autauga and Elmore Counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. 

As of 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 31,119.

The city is the county seat of Autauga County, Alabama. It is nicknamed "The Fountain City" due to the 
many artesian wells in the area. 

The city was founded in 1839 by well-known industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt.

What is now Prattville was largely inhabited by Native Americans and a few settlers when Daniel Pratt, 
a native of Temple, New Hampshire, first observed the Autauga Creek in the 1830s.

Pratt purchased approximately 1,000 acres (4 km²) from Joseph May at $21.00 an acre, and set out to build 
his manufacturing facilities and the town along the banks of the Autauga creek. 

This location was chosen because the creek could supply power to the cotton gin manufacturing equipment.

In the past 10 years, Prattville's city limits have begun to expand eastward into neighboring Elmore County. 

While the original plan was to keep this portion of the city strictly commercial, due to the rapid increase in 
population, housing developments are currently being built on the Elmore County side.

Prattville has become a popular golf destination, offering one of the widely famed 
Robert Trent Jones Golf Courses. 

With year-round warmth, hot summers and short, mild winters this destination offers 
entertainment through out the year.
