The population was 158 at the 2010 census, an increase of 28.5 percent over the figure of 129 recorded in 2000. Council Hill began as a council house for the Creek Nation circa 1840, after the tribe had been forced to emigrate to Indian Territory. The Creeks named this location as Weklwa Hulwe or "High Spring," and consider it their first capitol. Smoke signals from the top of the hill announced calls for general council meetings to other Creek towns in the vicinity. After the outbreak of the Civil War, this place became the headquarters of the Creek Regiment of the Confederate Army, led by D. N. McIntosh.
