Prattville
Prattville was founded in the 1830s by industrialist Daniel Pratt around a cotton-gin manufacturing operation on Autauga Creek, earning it the nickname 'the Fountain City' for its historic downtown fountain and mill-era architecture.
Local planning notes →Millbrook
Millbrook grew north of Montgomery along U.S. 231 starting mainly in the 1970s and 80s, developing as a bedroom community for Montgomery and Maxwell Air Force Base rather than around any older town center.
Local planning notes →Pike Road
Pike Road incorporated in 1997 and has developed since then as one of the Montgomery area's newest and most affluent suburbs, built around planned residential communities southeast of the city rather than an existing town.
Local planning notes →Wetumpka
Wetumpka is the historic seat of Elmore County on the Coosa River, known for a compact downtown of nineteenth-century buildings and for sitting atop the site of an ancient meteor impact crater that shaped the area's unusual terrain.
Local planning notes →Deatsville
Deatsville is a small, historically rural Elmore County community north of Montgomery that has slowly absorbed some of the region's suburban growth without losing its lower-density character.
Local planning notes →Coosada
Coosada is a small Elmore County community near the Alabama River northwest of Montgomery, historically a quieter, more rural counterpart to the faster-growing suburbs along U.S. 231.
Local planning notes →Tallassee
Tallassee grew up around textile mills powered by the falls of the Tallapoosa River, straddling the Elmore and Tallapoosa county line with a mill-town history distinct from Montgomery's state-government economy.
