Maycomb is a fictional County made up by Harper Lee to represent the town she grew up in when she was little. Based on the City Monroeville and the county of Monroe. FUN FACT: This is where they also decided to film the movie, so that they could have a more authentic spot to film in instead of a set. Many famous people came from Monroeville Including:
- Chris Booker, Major League Baseball player
- Truman Capote, author of Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood
- Mark Childress, novelist
- Amasa Coleman Lee, lawyer and legislator
- Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman
- Marie Rudisill, author and television personality
- Bill Selby, MLB- Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Indians
Below are many pictures of the town, both modern and time period to get a feeling for what the place would actually be like.
