Hacoda, also known as Martha, is an unincorporated community in Geneva County, Alabama, United States. Hacoda is located on Alabama State Route 54, 7.5 miles (12.1 km) west-southwest of Samson.
History
The community was first called Martha, in honor of the wife of the first postmaster. The name was later changed to Hacoda in 1904. Hacoda is a portmanteau created from the surnames of three local businessmen—Hart, Coleman, and Davis. A post office operated under the name Martha from 1882 to 1904, and under the name Hacoda from 1904 to 1956.
