Athens is located near the center of northern Alabama and about 15 miles from the Tennessee State line in historic Limestone County. We are conveniently located at the crossroads of I-65, Highway 72, and Highway 31. The population of Athens is approximately 19,000 people. While Athens has an agricultural history, in recent years Athens has attracted major industry that has diversified the population. Education is a source of pride in the community, with its award-winning public school system and Athens State University which has been in operation since the 1800's. With all the diversification Athens has to offer, no wonder Athens is truly a city of Southern Splendor.
