Corner, Alabama

Corner is a small unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Alabama.

Geography

Corner is located in the corner of Jefferson County, Walker County, and Blount County, hence the name. (It is counted as being in Jefferson County because the largest part of Corner is located there). The community is about 6 miles west of Warrior. Much of it lies upon York Mountain, and as far away as Birmingham may be seen on clear days. Residents of Corner carry either Dora (648) or Warrior (647, 590) telephone prefixes and Dora, Warrior, or Empire ZIP codes. Territory is often defined by school zone, and the exact boundary is unclear between Corner and neighboring communities such as Bagley. Corner High School, with an enrollment of about 1,000 in grades K-12, is the area's focal point.
