Eva, AL

Settled around 1820 and originally called Cowhead, Eva is a quiet rural community tucked into southern Morgan County. Local story goes that a doctor delivering a baby girl in the 1880s inspired the town's current name. For newcomers, it offers a relaxed, country feel with rolling pastures, quiet roads, and an easy drive up to Decatur or Huntsville. Life here revolves around neighbors and tradition, especially each fall during Eva Frontier Days, when the town gathers for a parade, antique tractors, good food, and local crafts. It is a great place to settle down if you want space, peace, and classic Southern hospitality.
