Athens, Alabama, the fastest-growing city in the state, offers a unique blend of Southern hospitality and rapid transformation. An influx of residents and businesses have energized the community, yet Athens retains its small-town charm, where neighbors greet each other by name, local businesses thrive, and milestones are celebrated together.

Limestone County is located in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The County is in the center of the Tennessee Valley with the Tennessee River running along the southern end of the county. The county name comes from a large creek, which flows through it, its bed of hard limestone. Limestone County rests on the northern bank of the mighty Tennessee River and stretches to the southern boundary of the State of Tennessee.  Athens and Limestone County offer a community rich in Southern tradition, which is poised for tremendous future growth.
