Wikipedia description:
Tensaw is an unincorporated community in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States. It is part of the Daphne–Fairhope–Foley Micropolitan Statistical Area and is the home of historic Fort Mims. The name Tensaw is derived from the historic indigenous Taensa people. A post office operated under the name Tensaw from 1807 to 1953. Three former stockade forts used during the Creek War (part of the War of 1812), were located near Tensaw: Fort Mims (site of the Fort Mims massacre), Fort Montgomery, and Fort Pierce.
