Social Town is an unincorporated community in Crenshaw County, Alabama, United States.[2]
Social Town has been noted for its unusual place name.[3]
Social Town is a rural area in Beat 7, one of a number of Beats (or Precincts) in Crenshaw County. The word "Town" in the name is a misnomer, there being no actual town there. The Social Town area is located approximately five miles east of Luverne, the county seat of Crenshaw County. The area is sparsely inhabited today. The intersection of two dirt roads, Golden Road (north-south) and Athens Church Road (east-west), is in the midst of the area. In 1880, the Benjamin Franklin Williams family moved onto their new 40-80 acre farm near the road intersection. They lived and worked on their farm until 1912, when they moved to Luverne. During this period, the farm families in the Social Town area were known for paying their bills on time[4].
