Mayor’s Office

Welcome to Hartselle, Alabama – “The City of Southern Hospitality.” We are glad you are here!! Whether you are a first time visitor or a current resident, I believe you will find Hartselle a great place to visit or reside. We have friendly people; a school system rated as one of the best in the state, a low crime rate, quality health care services, and a unique downtown full of antique and specialty shops. Our other many assets include one of the best recreation parks, and fire and police departments in the state. Our historic downtown area is a popular attraction guaranteed to peak the interest of antique and specialty item collectors. Another draw is our annual Depot Days Festival held each fall, that features a 5K race, arts, crafts, music and entertainment, car show and food vendors. Hartselle’s bedroom community has a population of approximately 12,600 and boasts a low crime rate and quality health care services.

Our city government, utilities department, Chamber of Commerce and business sector work hand in hand to make Hartselle a better place to live. A national guidebook recently named Hartselle an one of the 100 Best Small Towns in America . Hartselle can also be found in the book – The 50 Best Small Southern Towns , written by Gerald W. Sweitzer and Kathy M. Fields. We are proud of this recognition and hope you will agree.
