Montevallo

 

Montevallo, Alabama; a small town with a big heart. You will love our town where any trip down through the small business district is met wit a "Hi" and "How are you?" from the townspeople. We are conveniently located (35 miles south of Birmingham and 65 miles north of Montgomery) for access to some of the largest shopping centers in the South. A tour of Historic University of Montevallo with its cobbled streets, the King house. Flower Hill and its beautiful trees is a delight to both residents and visitors alike. The interaction between the City and the University provides everyone with a wealth of opportunities for sports, concerts, plays and wonderful ways to continue your education at very nominal fees.
