The town of Evergreen, Alabama only has a population of 3,800, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an important city in the state. In fact, you could argue that Evergreen is the state’s most important city now that its council members have voted to designate it as Official Bigfoot Capital of Alabama.

Al.com reports that Councilman Luther Upton introduced the resolution by stating that he hadn’t actually seen any Sasquatch in or near his town. “But I’ve never seen God either and I believe in him,” he added. “A lot of people have seen these things. They aren’t quacks. They are legitimate people who’ve seen these things.”
Below is part of the official resolution, which was signed by Mayor Pete Wolff:
WHEREAS, many people around the world believe in the existence of Bigfoot-like creatures, and hundreds of sightings of these mysterious creatures are reported each year; and
WHEREAS, numerous Conecuh County residents have reported multiple sightings of mysterious Bigfoot-like creatures in and around Evergreen for decades, and that Evergreen is the geographical epicenter of these reported sightings; and
WHEREAS, those reports have attracted local, state, national and worldwide media attention, causing Evergreen and Conecuh County to be heavily associated with the ongoing discussion and study of Bigfoot reports in Alabama; and WHEREAS, Evergreen and Conecuh County has attracted Bigfoot investigators from across the country, including members of the cast of the television show “Killing Bigfoot,” to investigate reported Bigfoot sightings in the area, and leading them to find evidence of these creatures in the Evergreen area.
Evergreen joins two other cities—Willow Creek, Calif., has declared itself the “Bigfoot Capital of the World” and Remer, Minn., believes it is “Home of Bigfoot”—as the nation’s top Sasquatch destinations.
Next, Upton says he wants State Rep. Thomas Jackson, D-Thomasville to submit a resolution to the state Legislature to make it official on a state-wide level.
