Welcome to Armor ...

So far, we found very little information about Armor. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Armor to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Armor - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Armor, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Armor , we believe that it would have been located within present day Pike County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Armor, you might consider that their post office opened in 1900.

Time Zone: The area where Armor was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Armor, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Alabama's counties, including Pike, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
