Welcome to Alabama (aka 'Alabama City') ...So far, we found very little information about Alabama. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1> We've added Alabama to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Alabama - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Alabama, please Contact Us. While we don't have the exact location of Alabama <3>, we believe that it would have been located within present day Elko County<2>. While we don't have a date for the founding of Alabama, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was on a map dated 1883.

When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future. The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Alabama was on a map titled George#&160;F. Cram Map of Nevada (1883). For more details, see References and Mentions for Alabama.
