The Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is a historic park in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. It was established in 1959 in honor of being the site where the last battle of the Creek War took place in 1814.

In March 27, 1814, the militia under General Andrew Jackson?s Tennessee command with the aid of the 39th US Infantry and other Indian allies crushed the resistance of the Lower Creek during the Battle of the Horseshoe Bend. That very historic event ended the Creek War, and broke the Creek Nation power. It was a bloody battle with more than 800 Upper Creeks dead by the end of the day. This made this event that largest loss of life the entire Native American population has ever experienced in a single battle during the entire course of history of the United States.

The said battle that took place at the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park paved the way for the states of Alabama and Georgia to acquire additional 23 million acres to their territories.
