About Montevallo

Montevallo is a Shelby County college town, home to the University of Montevallo, a public liberal arts university with about 3,000 students. The town sits near the geographic center of Alabama, a point marked near Reynolds Cemetery Road. Shoal Creek Park adds a strong local outdoor and historic setting, with trails, Perry Hall, and creekside land. Montevallo feels small but intellectually lively, with the university giving the town more cultural weight than its population alone would suggest.
