LOCKHART
For Specific Community Information Please Click Here Lockhart, located about a mile west of Florala on highway 55, came into being about 1900 when the huge Jackson Lumber Company mill was constructed there. At one time around 1912, the mill employing around a thousand workers, was running day and night. At that time Lockhart was the largest lumber mill in the United States! Today, Lockhart is still an historical monument to the lumber that once grew in abundance. With homes dating from the 1900s made of yellow leaf pine and hardwood floors, Victorian architecture this community is rich in pride and hospitality.
