Originally called "Cowhead", the town began to be settled in 1820, just a year after Alabama achieved statehood. William J. Rook began a post office in Cowhead in 1883; however, it was closed a month later. According to local lore, at a community meeting, the town received its current name "Eva" in October 1883 at the suggestion of a local physician, Dr.
Lewis Keller, who had just delivered a beautiful baby girl by that name, Eva Brandon. He liked that name because like the girl, the town was just getting started. After discussion, the community agreed upon the name Eva because the town needed a new name as a prerequisite for establishing a new post office.
It was not until 1887 that the town's name was officially changed from Cowhead.In 1916, Mr. Wiley Steward, local sawmill owner, donated 5 acres (2.0 ha) of land to the town, for the construction of a new school. In 1918, using donations from the local community, Eva gazed with admiration upon a beautiful new four-room schoolhouse.
As time went by, the need for higher educational training for the community was realized. In an effort spearheaded by local physician J. G. Daves, later deemed "the father of Eva School", in the 1920s a community campaign was set forth to raise the necessary funds to build another school. Even the Great Depression could not hold this thriving community down from its dream of higher education for its children. It was a community undertaking, but the fairy tale dream of a resolute community was realized in 1930, when Eva became a proud possessor of an accredited high school and held graduation exercises with a senior class composed of three members. The community forged ahead and in its desire to add to the curriculum of the school, through local donations, added a vocational agriculture building, elementary building, and in 1938 completed a large stone gymnasium. In 1972, with the opening of Albert P.
Brewer High School in Florette, Eva High School was consolidated into this new east regional Morgan County High School facility.In 1996, the Morgan County Board of Education, through a capital funds campus upgrade, demolished the old school buildings, excluding the gymnasium that was constructed in 1985 and the old lunchroom building, constructed in the mid 1960s.
The campus was rebuilt, with a beautiful new modern K-8 building. Today, Eva School, as it has done for a century, continues to serve as source of pride for the Eva community. Eva incorporated as a town in 1963.
