And Dothan is just a peanut's throw down the road from Enterprise, site of the world's first monument to ... a bug.
A boll weevil blight in 1909 got Coffee County farmers looking to diversify their crop. Starting with a single farmer (a Mr. C.W. Baston), they changed over to peanuts and found them even more profitable than cotton. When the blight peaked in 1919, much of the region was in financial ruin, but not the folks of Enterprise and Coffee County. They were getting fat (literally and figuratively) off peanuts.
So to show their gratitude, the good folk of Enterprise put up a statue to a bug on the town square.
