Town Creek, AL

Town Creek is a quiet rural community in Lawrence County, sitting right at the crossroads of Highway 72 and State Route 101. Home to around a thousand people, it offers peaceful country living surrounded by open farmland in North Alabama. Its location makes it a practical spot for commuters, sitting southeast of Florence and Muscle Shoals and about a half-hour drive west of Decatur.

Living here puts you just minutes south of the Tennessee River and Wheeler Lake, making weekend fishing, boating, and trips up to Wheeler Dam part of the everyday routine. The town dates back to the early 1800s, when it was known as Jonesboro, and that historic, unhurried feel still defines the area. If you want a slower pace, plenty of room to spread out, and easy highway routes to larger nearby cities, Town Creek fits right in.
