Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and the ecologically rich watersheds of the Cahaba and Coosa Rivers, Shelby County, Alabama is a patchwork of diverse communities and neighborhoods surrounded by natural beauty. Shelby County is home to Oak Mountain State Park – Alabama’s largest state park, which offers more than 75 miles of world-class mountain biking and hiking trails to explore.

While we’ve long been known for our fast-growing neighborhoods and high-quality public schools- recent years have brought a richness of arts, cuisine, and outdoor activities that complement the accessibility to Birmingham we’ve always had. Across 808 square miles, you’ll find a mix of culture, business, recreation, housing options, and events that make us one of the South’s most dynamic counties.
