About Cordova
Cordova is a quiet river town in Walker County, set along the Mulberry Fork where the Appalachian foothills meet central Alabama. The community grew rapidly in the late 1800s around the Indian Head Textile Mill, which built many of the town's original homes, shops, and rail stops. You can still see that heritage today in the historic mill cottages and laid-back neighborhood streets near the water.
For anyone considering a move, Cordova offers an affordable, easygoing pace of life. Two exits on Interstate 22 make commuting straightforward, putting Jasper about ten minutes away and Birmingham within a 40-minute drive. Local kids go to Cordova Elementary and High School right in town, and the river gives residents an easy spot for boating, fishing, and relaxed weekends outdoors.
