Northwest Alabama

Northwest Alabama

Northwest Alabama is a subdivision of the North Alabama region, and includes the cities of Decatur, Florence, Russellvile, and their surrounding areas in the state of Alabama. The county inclusion varies, usually only consisting of the Decatur Metropolitan Area and Florence-Muscle Shoals Metropolitan Area. Sometimes the city of Athens, and western portions of the Huntsville Metropolitan Area, are included. [1] But, these areas are usually associated with a separate political region such as North Central Alabama or Northeast Alabama. When all county populations are combined, the entire region is constituted of 450,525 people.
