About Gurley

Gurley offers a quiet, small-town atmosphere tucked into the eastern corner of Madison County, about twenty minutes down Highway 72 from Huntsville. It sits right where the Tennessee Valley meets the surrounding foothills, giving residents scenic mountain backdrops and a peaceful, rural feel. For anyone working in Huntsville or at Redstone Arsenal who wants more space and a slower pace of life, the drive into the city is simple and direct.

Old Gurley Town Hall Feb 2012 02

Much of the town maintains its original historic charm, with older homes, quiet side streets, and local churches creating a relaxed, neighborly environment. Younger students attend the elementary and middle school right in town, while high schoolers head to nearby Madison County High. It is a welcoming, unhurried community that gives you room to spread out while keeping city conveniences close at hand.
