"The Shoals" 

There are four cities and nine smaller communities in the northwest corner of Alabama - Florence, Sheffield, Muscle Shoals and Tuscumbia - that make up the area known as the Shoals.

With a population of more than 150,000, we're big enough to have the cultural, educational, shopping and medical facilities you'd expect from a larger city - but we still enjoy a relaxed, safe style of life.

In the Shoals, you're never very far from the beautiful Tennessee River which weaves its way through the heart of our part of the Tennessee Valley.

The Shoals is a great place to live, work, play and raise our families. Welcome to the Shoals!
