The Old Brown Jug The story behind the Jugtown Juggernauts by Clay Barnes
JUGTOWN - Back before progress came to North Jefferson County there wasn't a whole lot going on north of Birmingham. Sure you had a few beer joints and honky tonks on US Highway 31 (Hooten's for example) heading towards Cullman, but the real action was in the boonies where cock fighting and moon shining were thriving. This was before plastic jugs and glass was still fragile and undependable. The locals needed a better container for the South's finest corn liquor. So from this need sprang a jug factory built to supply jugs to the local entrepreneurs. The jug plant was so successful it drew workers to the area and soon a small town had emerged. That town was called Jugtown. Many years later after plastic and glass became more accepted, the jug factory was shut down and moved to the hills of East Tennessee. The town leaders seeking to change the past voted to change the name to Gardendale and the rest is history.
