It is located approximately halfway between Tuscaloosa and Montgomery on U.S. Route 82. The town of Maplesville first began to grow in a location 3 miles east of its present location, near Mulberry Creek. Located roughly 62 miles south-east of Tuscaloosa, it was in what was Bibb County at the time, as Baker/Chilton had not yet been created. European settlers migrated to the area from Georgia and the Carolinas following the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, after the Native Americans who had been living there were defeated. The town was named after Stephen W. Maples, a merchant and the town's first postmaster, the post-office being at his store.
