About Hillsboro

Hillsboro is a small Lawrence County town west of Decatur, included in the broader Decatur and Huntsville-Decatur metro region. It began in the late 1830s as Gilmersville and was incorporated in 1899, giving it deeper roots than its small present-day size suggests. The town sits near County Road 217, a railroad crossing, and Wheeler Lake country. Hillsboro is residential and residential, but its location places it within commuting distance of larger north Alabama job centers.
