About Hartselle

Hartselle is a Morgan County city about 13 miles south of Decatur, part of the Decatur metro and the broader Huntsville-Decatur region. Interstate 65 runs along the east side of town, giving it a useful north-south connection without making it feel like a large city. The local story is fairly straightforward: the county's second-largest city, a small downtown, local schools, and a residential base between Decatur, Cullman, and the Tennessee Valley job market.
