Jasper, County seat in Walker County, Alabama
Jasper sits in the north-central region of Alabama at 100 meters elevation, featuring parks, shopping centers, and administrative buildings across its landscape.
Following its establishment in 1815, the city received its name from Revolutionary War hero Sergeant William Jasper, with E.D. Musgrove donating the initial land.
The city maintains strong connections to entertainment through notable residents including actors Michael Rooker, George Lindsey, and stage performer Tallulah Bankhead.
The city contains three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and an alternative school, served by U.S. Highway 78 and State Highway 269.
The December 1920 fire that destroyed downtown Jasper led to immediate rebuilding efforts, resulting in the current architectural layout of the city center.
