There is a book entitled "The History of Conecuh County" written by Rev. B. F. Riley which explains why "Burnt Corn" is called "Burnt Corn". First publishing of this book was 1881. The story goes" Two Indians were returning from Pensacola and stopped at this famous spring to camp. During their stay here, one became sick and was unable to prosecute his journey. His companion grew impatient and resolved to leave him to his fate, not however, without first having supplied him with a quantity of corn, which he poured in a heap on the dry leaves near the suffering man. Recovering from his sickness , the Indian found himself without a sack into which he could put his corn, and left it heaped upon the dry leaves, which caught from the camp fire, and the corn was partially burned. Travelers, stopping here to camp, found the pile of charred corn, and called the spring "Burnt Corn Spring"." Quote from a GOOD history. Joyce
