Steady growth in Hartselle
Hartselle formed around a train depot established along the South and North Alabama Railroad in the late 1800s. Though much of the city center burned down in a 1916 fire, it was rebuilt, and now downtown Hartselle — with its brick sidewalks and awnings over old-timey shops — is on the National Register of Historic Places. Trains still run along the tracks next to the restored depot, which now houses local artifacts.
Home to over 15,000 residents, the north-central Alabama city is a mix of lifelong residents and those who relocated to the area after a recent tech boom created new jobs in nearby Huntsville. "We're in a steady growth cycle and I'm good with that," Hartselle Mayor Randy Garrison says. "It gives you time to keep up with it." Lower housing prices than Huntsville, 35 miles away, and a top-rated school district are big draws.
Hartselle radiates out from it's historic downtown center.
Much of the broad sidewalks of Downtown Hartselle are covered, providing shade from the intense Alabama Summer sun.

Hartselle school district is "the center of the town"
Many who choose to live in Hartselle and commute do so for its highly rated school district, Hartselle City Schools, which scores an A on Niche. The district serves more than 3,500 students at its six schools, including the new Crestline Elementary that opened in 2024 and was named a National Blue Ribbon School. It is also home to the district's centralized preschool program. Hartselle High School offers advanced coursework, dual enrollment opportunities with a nearby community college and an academy model that lets students explore careers in areas like engineering, manufacturing, agriculture and military leadership. "The school is pretty much the center of the town," says lifelong resident Alice Anne Cothran, who owns The Robin's Nest children's boutique in downtown Hartselle. "That's what everybody does, whatever the school is doing." Kids' athletics, theater productions and other activities pull everyone together.
