About Somerville

Located in central Morgan County, Somerville offers a quiet, rural pace with deep historical roots. It was the original county seat back in the 1800s, and you can still visit the historic square where Alabama’s oldest standing courthouse sits. Even after county business shifted up to Decatur, Somerville held onto its small-town charm, open farmland, and easygoing atmosphere.
