Walker County, Alabama
Walker County · Jasper is the seat · Jasper is the large city · Montgomery is still the capital · this is not Walker County, Georgia
Jasper is the seat. Jasper is the large city. Cordova is not the hall.
Walker County, Alabama, was erected 26 December 1823 from Marion and Tuscaloosa and named for U.S. Senator John Williams Walker. Jasper has been the seat since 1823. Jasper is the seat. Jasper is the largest city. Cordova is not the county government. Carbon Hill is not the county government. Sumiton is not the hall. Dora is not the hall. Kansas, Nauvoo, Oakman, Parrish, and Sipsey are municipalities or communities. They are not the hall. This is not Walker County, Georgia (Lafayette). This is not Walker County, Texas (Huntsville). Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. It does not sit here. Jasper is not the capital. A coal seam is not the courthouse.
Places include Jasper, Cordova, Carbon Hill, Sumiton, Dora, Kansas, Nauvoo, Oakman, Parrish, and Sipsey. 2020 census: 65,342. This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — Warrior-basin remainder patrol and the 2nd Avenue house this badge still holds — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Walker County.
A chair at large and four districts at 1801 3rd. They do not sit in Carbon Hill as this county.
Walker is a five-member County Commission: a Chairman elected at large and four commissioners from single-member districts. There is no elected County Executive. Commission offices sit at 1801 3rd Avenue S., Suite 113, Jasper, AL 35501. They fund roads, the courthouse, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Jasper City Council is a city body. Cordova City Council is a city body.
The Walker County Courthouse (14th Judicial Circuit) is at 1803 3rd Avenue, Jasper, AL 35501. Circuit Clerk / Absentee Election Manager lists 1803 3rd Avenue, Suite 205. A city hall in Jasper is not this county. Cordova City Hall is not this county.
The Sheriff is four years, Article V § 138, 2026 with the Governor. Take office 18 January 2027. The Mayor of Jasper is a city clock.
The Warrior, I-22, U.S. 78. This is not Walker County, Georgia.
Interstate 22 (Corridor X) and U.S. 78 are the through roads. The Black Warrior and the Sipsey drain the basin. This is the Warrior Coal Basin. Winston is north. Cullman is northeast. Blount is east. Jefferson is southeast. Tuscaloosa is south. Fayette is southwest. Marion is west. Staff who paste Lafayette, Georgia, onto 3rd Avenue, or treat Huntsville, Texas, as this courthouse, or file “Cordova as this hall,” or drop Birmingham onto 2nd Avenue as this county, are on the wrong county.
How a Jasper public finds 3rd Avenue and 2nd Avenue
Courthouse / Circuit Clerk / Absentee: 1803 3rd Avenue, Suite 205, Jasper. Commission: 1801 3rd Avenue S., Suite 113. Sheriff headquarters and Jail: 2001 2nd Avenue, Jasper, AL 35501 (walkercountysheriff.com and the Secretary of State listing). Confirm live addresses on those doors. A student who only knows a Georgia Walker, or a Texas Walker, has not found this hall. A student who only knows a mine photograph has not found 3rd Avenue.
2001 2nd Avenue still jails. Jasper PD does not.
Crime in unincorporated Walker — Nauvoo country, Oakman, Parrish remainder, the Warrior roads outside city limits — is this Sheriff. Crime in Jasper is often Jasper Police. Crime in Cordova, Carbon Hill, Sumiton, or Dora is often those municipal departments. This Sheriff is not Jasper PD. The Walker County Jail at 2001 2nd Avenue is this Sheriff’s house — the Sheriff’s own jail page dates the present facility to August 1998. It is not a separate county Department of Corrections that took the jail. It is not ADOC. Do not send a family looking for a county booking to Jasper Police, to Lafayette, Georgia, or to Huntsville, Texas. Civil process and court security at 1803 3rd Avenue are the Sheriff. Rights do not change at the coal rumor. Remedy for Jasper Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when the Warrior floods is this count first.
Care without inventing a coal-chapel as this county
A peace order served in unincorporated Nauvoo. A transport from 2001 2nd Avenue to 1803 3rd Avenue without becoming Jasper Police. Do not invent a church. Do not invent a mine as this badge.
What a Warrior courthouse actually watches
Court calendar on 3rd Avenue. A wreck on I-22. Fog on the Warrior. A night road outside Carbon Hill or Oakman. Coordination with Jasper PD and ALEA without becoming those departments. Coordination with Jefferson’s Sheriff or Winston’s Sheriff is mutual aid between two offices, not a merger. A Montgomery photograph does not steal the capital. A Georgia rumor does not steal the seat.
