The Town of Shorter is located in Macon County, and although the community has existed for over a century, the Town was not officially incorporated until February 29, 1984. The Alabama Legislature created Macon County on 18 December 1832 from territory acquired from the last cession of the Creek Indians on 24 March of the same year. The county was named for Nathaniel Macon, a distinguished soldier and statesman from North Carolina. Macon County received its present dimensions in 1866. It is located in the east-central portion of the state, and is bordered by Elmore, Tallapoosa, Lee, Russell, Bullock, and Montgomery Counties. The county seat is located at Tuskegee, which is also the site of Tuskegee Institute and Tuskegee University. Other towns in Macon County include Tuskegee, Franklin, and Notasulga.
