Dodge City, AL

Dodge City is a Cullman County town in north-central Alabama with 548 people at the 2020 census. It was incorporated in 1993 and sits south of the center of the county, east of Lewis Smith Lake. That lake is the most useful geographic clue: boating and fishing are part of the nearby landscape, while Dodge City itself remains a small civic place with its own town limits and municipal name.

Perry Ray Park is named for Dodge City's first mayor, giving the town a named piece of public ground as well as a direct link to its earliest municipal history. The town's central-county position puts it in the same local frame as the lake, county roads, and the wider Cullman County service area. Those three coordinates—town limits, lake shore, and park—are enough to place Dodge City on a local map. The local scoop is a young Alabama municipality with a very specific map—south-central Cullman County, east of Lewis Smith Lake, with a park carrying the name of the town's first mayor.
