Piedmont, AL

Ireland

Piedmont sits along I-20 between Birmingham and Atlanta, making it a natural highway stop in Alabama's eastern hills. The city centers around the intersection of I-20, US 278, and State Route 9, with most businesses clustered near Exit 199. It's about an hour from Birmingham and less than two hours from Atlanta, positioning it well for both day trips and longer journeys. The area features Jacksonville State University's McClellan Campus, built on a former World War II Army depot.
