Talk:List of Jefferson County municipalities

Incorporated Cities and Towns

Check out this list [1] on the NACo website. It seems to be pretty comprehensive, though it doesn't list Pinson (Jefferson County's newest incorporated city) or Clay as being incopoprated, while Center Point is listed and it was incorporated after Clay. --Wheresdib 07:29, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• I called the Jefferson County Commission's office and they said they got their list off of the ADECA website. I have looked on there but can't find anything. The person I talked to was supposed to e-mail me their list, which has the mayors of each town/city listed as well, but that was over 30 minutes ago and I haven't gotten anything. --Wheresdib 07:57, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• Good hustle! I'll have to think of a new award to give out.... --08:12, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• I got the e-mail and am sending it to you now! --Wheresdib 08:19, 9 February 2007 (PST)

City Limits bleed over into Jefferson

The list that I got from the Jefferson County Commission lists Helena, Lakeview, and Sumiton as being in Jefferson. I called each of these and their city limits do bleed over into Jefferson. Helena is in both Jefferson and Shelby, Lakeview is in Tuscaloosa, and Sumiton is in Walker. I assume we should list these on here.

Also, Dora and Fairview were not on the list, so I don't have their phone numbers. I am not sure if they are in Jefferson or not. Fairview is in Cullman County (the one I know about) and since Cullman isn't contiguous with Jefferson, I don't think it belongs. --Wheresdib 10:20, 9 February 2007 (PST)

There's also the ALDOT county maps, as listed at Bhamwiki:References. I used them to label town split between counties. (Hope you like it.) I did not see Dora or Fairview, so I removed the latter from the list. The bits of Helena and Sumiton were shown. Lakeview must have just recently extended across the county line because the maps show it strictly in Tuscaloosa County, but I went with Wheresdib's phone call. --Lkseitz 13:14, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• I wound up finding a number for Dora and she said that the city limits were not in Jefferson. The only Fairview I could find was in Cullman (as I had said before). The Lakeview Town Hall can be reached at 205-477-1999. I didn't think to ask for details as to when they annexed land in Jefferson. --Wheresdib 13:51, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• No Fairviews in the Jeff Co Map Book. "Place Names in Alabama" lists three, Unincorporated communities in Chilton Co. and Coffee Co., and one (inc. in 1967) in Cullman Co. --Dystopos 21:46, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Reformat

• In light of the compact elegance of Template:Jefferson County I've reformatted this list to give a few more columns of info. FWIW, I found the Alabama League of Municipalities directory to be more up-to-date than the Jeffco list. If anyone knows how to right-align the population column, that would be an improvement. --Dystopos 20:24, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Former cities

• It occurs to me that it would be useful to have a similar list ordered by date of incorporation, which would include incorporated cities (North Birmingham, Avondale, Elyton, Woodlawn) that are no longer independent, or which have dissolved. --Dystopos 20:27, 13 February 2007 (PST)
