Montevallo, Alabama: Center of Alabama
Upright slab of Alabama white marble, with an engraved outline of the state and a big star in the middle. Erected in 1955, even though the Center had been officially moved south, two years earlier, by the Submerged Lands Act. Montevallo obviously refused to accept this meddling by the (Yankee) federal government, and erected this defiant monument.

A concrete marker denotes the geographical center of the state of Alabama. It sits in a cemetery just off Highway 25 outside of Montevallo. There is some kind of old stone foundation behind it.
