About Cleveland

Set in the heart of Blount County, Cleveland is a quiet, close-knit community with roots stretching back to the 1820s. Back then, folks knew it as Dry Creek Crossroads and later Blackwood's Crossroads, serving as a gathering spot for local farmers and travelers. Today, it still keeps that welcoming small-town atmosphere, surrounded by rolling hills, open farmland, and the scenic Locust Fork river winding along its northwest edge.

Most day-to-day activity centers along U.S. 231, where you will find the town hall, local schools, and essential services. Living here means enjoying a peaceful, unhurried pace while staying within easy reach of Oneonta for shopping and Birmingham for a straightforward commute. Between weekend paddling trips along the river and catching a high school football game, Cleveland offers an inviting slice of classic Alabama country living.
