Coker, AL

Coker is a Tuscaloosa County town with a newer municipal story: it incorporated in 1999 and sits within the Tuscaloosa metropolitan area. That date matters because Coker is not an old courthouse town with a long incorporation ritual; it is a place that chose its town government at the end of the twentieth century. The local identity is tied to the Tuscaloosa area while keeping its own name and boundaries. Coker’s profile is straightforward—small town, metro connection, and a municipal history that begins in living memory. In west Alabama, that makes Coker a newer town with a simple, recognizable place on the map.
