This earthen mound and the adjacent village were built by people of the Mississippian culture who likely had some relationship to the people associated with the large site of Moundville located about 20 miles south of present-day Tuscaloosa on the Black Warrior River.

This site sits at a strategic location where the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers join to form the Alabama River. It is one of the longest and most heavily occupied indigenous sites in Alabama. It remained the site of significant American Indian occupation until the removal of the Creek Indians in the 1830s. The Historic period Alabama and Muscogee Creek villages, named Pakana and Taskigi respectively, were located here.
