Decatur

Decatur lies along the Tennessee River in northern Alabama, and its riverfront position made it an important transport and rail centre in the Tennessee Valley. The city grew around a river crossing and railroad connections, a legacy reflected in its historic downtown and the Old State Bank, a Greek Revival building completed in 1833. Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge protects wetlands and wildlife habitat along the river, and its visitor centre is in Decatur. The Point Mallard Park complex provides extensive public recreation facilities, while the riverfront connects local life with the wider valley.
