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 county's first high school was built in Eclectic in 1911. The Birmingham and Southeastern Railroad came through the town in 1913, and the town had a brief boom period fueled by land sales. The railroad did not survive the Great Depression, closing in 1936, and the town has remained relatively small since that time.
