Location

This historic home for sale in Alabama is in Sulligent, a small city located in Lamar County. It is situated in the northwestern part of the state, near the Mississippi state line. Sulligent is known for its close-knit community and its picturesque rural charm.

The city of Sulligent was incorporated in 1897. Its name is derived from the names of three railroad surveyors: Sullivan, Sizemore, and Gentle. According to local lore, these surveyors played a significant role in determining the route of the railroad through the area, and as a result, the town was named after them, combining parts of their names.

Sulligent owes much of its early growth and development to the railroad. The construction of the Kansas City, Memphis, and Birmingham Railroad in the late 19th century provided a vital transportation link for the region, connecting Sulligent with other cities and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The railroad brought economic opportunities and spurred the establishment of businesses and industries in the area.

Over the years, Sulligent has remained a predominantly rural community with a focus on agriculture. The city’s economy is supported by farming activities such as cotton, corn, soybeans, and livestock. Sulligent also has a small industrial sector that includes manufacturing and light industries.

In terms of amenities and services, Sulligent has the necessary infrastructure to meet the needs of its residents. It has schools, healthcare facilities, parks, and recreational areas that contribute to the quality of life in the community.
