About Montevallo
It’s not unusual to see a dragon or a
tree grin at you in Montevallo. It’s also not unusual to
see Revolutionary soldiers or George Washington stroll across
a field in this town. Nor is it unusual for purple and gold ribbons
to flutter from giant oaks at special times during the year. No,
for in Montevallo these are every-day occurrences.
But that doesn’t mean these sights are ordinary. Instead,
they’re what make Montevallo unique and full of possibilities—whether
you live here
year-round or visit for a day.
This city with a population of about 5,000 is
located 30 miles south of Birmingham. With a unique cultural charm
and village-type atmosphere Montevallo has it all: the
state’s only public liberal arts university, a
colonial village where history comes to life, a green park with
whimsical tree carvings, top-notch schools, historic homes, welcoming
neighborhoods, a Main Street that features shops
and restaurants unique to the area and a church almost 150 years
old. So whether you fancy sitting on a porch, sipping white-chocolate
mochas, or wish to traipse through a lush park beside a wandering
creek, Montevallo is home to all this and more.
Explore culture and the arts at the University
of Montevallo, participate in history at The American
Village, shop through the stores on Main Street or enjoy
the natural beauty of the town with a stroll through its neighborhoods
and park. You’re invited to experience the life of Montevallo.
