A land where bucolic mid-nineteenth-century Piedmont farms are set against a backdrop of some of Alabama's most unspoiled mountain views, the Choccolocco Valley is one of Alabama's most special places. Early homes such as the 1840s Borders House, the two nineteenth-century Choccolocco schools, and Downing's Mill are picturesque and important parts of the historical landscape. In recent years, however, "leapfrog development" has led to the spread of mini-subdivisions and culs-de-sac throughout the area. Without comprehensive planning and zoning, the character of this special region may be completely eroded within a few short years.
