You are here. Brundidge. Brundidge is located in Pike County in southeast Alabama; it is the county's second-largest city and has a mayor/council form of government. Brundidge markets itself as the Antique City, owing to the number of antique stores in its historic downtown area.
The town was founded prior to the Civil War by George C. Collier, who established a trading post and saloon. First called Collier's Store, the town changed its name around 1854 to honor James M. Brundidge, a prominent citizen and founder of the local Masonic lodge. During the Civil War, men from Pike County joined Company F, the Brundidge Guards, of the 15th Regiment Alabama Infantry.
