Suspension is a ghost town in Bullock County, Alabama, United States.[1]

History

The settlement began as an ancient Muscogee village called "Chananagi".[2][3]

The name "Suspension" derives from the temporary suspension of railroad construction at the settlement. The Mobile and Girard Railroad incorporated in 1849 and began laying a track southwest from Phenix City, Alabama. By 1852–53, the grading of the railroad bed had been completed to Union Springs, located 9 mi (14 km) southwest of the settlement, however, by 1858 the laying of track had only been completed to a location known as "Stewarts Mill" because extensive excavations were required to complete the track from Stewarts Mill to Union Springs.[4][5] Because the track laying was temporarily suspended at Stewarts Mill, the location became known as "Suspension". The track was finally completed to Union Springs in 1859–60.[4]

Bullock County Road 40 crosses the now-abandoned railway at Suspension, though nothing remains of the settlement.
