Remembering the past... Headland, Alabama; a growing city located in the southwestern section of Henry County in the southeastern section of the State of Alabama! The city was named after Dr. James Joshua Head who registered his cleared area of 160 acres in Montgomery in 1865; this land became the largest and earliest settlement, known as Head's Land. The Post Office created a postmark for the town and put "Headland" for its name. The town was founded in 1871 and was incorporated in 1884.

Living the present....The City of Headland has received grant funding for a major redesign of our town square area including a new modern sidewalk design, landscaping and lighting. This will benefit our citizen, merchants and visitors as come downtown to shop at one of our fine stores, eat at one of our wonderful restaurants, visit our libray or attend to government business at our city hall. Our citizens will have an even more enjoyable walk around our town square on a cool summer afternoon. |
Planning for the future... A city which will not plan for the future is, in effect, living in the past. For that reason, the City of Headland is at the present working on plans for a prosperous future.
A number of public meetings have been held to gauge the public’s support of and ideas for the project. Groups such as Renaissance Headland have been working with the city government and engineering concerns to create a design which will appeal to all city residents. A plan for the work, which is scheduled to get under early summer and hopefully be completed around Thanksgiving, is available for viewing in the lobby of the city hall.
