About Akron
Akron is a tiny, peaceful town in Hale County, sitting northwest of Greensboro in Alabama’s Black Belt. It started as a railroad stop in the late 1800s and grew into a quiet farming community that still moves at an easy, unhurried pace. Residents enjoy plenty of open countryside, quiet roads, and deep local roots, along with historic landmarks like the Greek Revival home at Tanglewood. If you are looking for simple country living away from the rush of bigger cities, Akron offers a calm place to settle down.
