Cotton Avenue or Cotton Avenue Southwest is a major east-west street in West End, and a remnant of the pioneer Georgia Road, which crossed the Huntsville Road, Tuscaloosa Road, Arkadelphia Road, and other roads leading to Jasper and Selma at Elyton in the 1800s. After the town's annexation by Birmingham, it became a continuation of 1st Avenue North, running west from Center Street to 16th Place Southwest.
