Edgewood Town Council

The Edgewood Town Council was the legislative body for the town of Edgewood, an incorporated town in Jefferson County's Shades Valley from 1920 to 1926. There were five seats on the council.

The group held their first meetings at 218 Broadway Street, in the garage of the town's first mayor, Hartley T. Brownell. In 1922, Edgewood Town Hall was completed at the corner of Evergreen and Highland, and the council met there for the rest of the town's history.

In a 1926 special election, citizens voted to annex the Grove Park and Rosedale Park areas, rename the larger town Homewood, and elected the members of the Homewood Town Council.
