Welcome to Corrie ...

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

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


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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Corrie, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1892.

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

The Area Codes where Corrie was located: 334 & 483<3>

Adding Corrie to Our Gazetteer ...

From that list, the Corrie post office opened in 1892. The Corrie post office closed in 1905.

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 Corrie, 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 Lowndes, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 334 code has been Overlayed with the 483 area code. New phone numbers in the Corrie area will be assigned with one of these codes: 334 or 483. As a result, placing a call in the Corrie area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
