More than 8,000 residents live in the 2.46-square-mile area defined by low-lying farmlands and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Shelby County has a long history of agriculture. Cotton dominated into the 20th century before farmers diversified with corn, peanuts and soybeans. An abundance of iron ore, coal and limestone spurred a boom in manufacturing in the mid- to late-20th century, part of which remains today. Educational and healthcare services, retail, banking and finance round out the economic sector. The county is one of the most prosperous in the state. The average household income in Meadowbrook was $91,488 in 2013, well above the median $42,849 for Alabama. And cost of living has remained nearly 10 percent less is the region than the national average.
