Avon, AL

Avon is a small town in Houston County, Alabama, near the geographic center of the county and not far from the Georgia state line at the Chattahoochee River. It incorporated in 1957 and remains a residential rural community rather than a regional center. With fewer than four hundred residents in the current data, Avon's appeal is straightforward: a small-town setting in Alabama's Wiregrass region, close enough to Dothan for larger services but still distinctly local in scale.
