Aaron Aronov Drive is a commercial thoroughfare connecting Fairfield and Midfield. It was initially named Wiebel Drive in honor of A. V. Wiebel, president of U. S. Steel's TCI division, headquartered in Fairfield. Construction of the road began with a groundbreaking ceremony on April 4, 1960.

The name of the road was changed to honor developer Aaron Aronov after he helped develop Western Hills Mall at Wiebel Drive.

The road is considered part of Jefferson County Road 65 (Minor Parkway), but is not continuous with the section between Alabama State Highway 269 and U. S. Highway 78 north of Fairfield.
