About Jackson

Honoring our Past
Building on our Future

The City of Jackson, Alabama, was founded in 1816 and proudly carries a rich history, having been named after President Andrew Jackson. Originally known as Pine Level and later Republicville, Jackson has always been a place rooted in tradition and community.

While our small town charm remains, Jackson has grown and evolved over the past two centuries. Once known as a timber town, our city is now home to a diverse mix of industry and commercial development. This growth reflects both our resilience and our vision for the future.
