The city became the County seat (1868-1883) of the newly formed Escambia County (1868 from Conecuh County). Pollard had a large Confederate encampment (Camp Tattnall-1861-65) (three camps). Pollard was the protection for Confederate Alabama from Union occupied Pensacola, FL / panhandle of Florida. After skirmishes during the war and burning of warehouses in the town prior to Union occupation in Jan/1865, Pollard never fully recovered it’s population. The railhead also was rebuilt a few miles west further amplifying the decline of the town.
