Blount Springs, Alabama

Blount Springs is an unincorporated community in Blount County, Alabama.

History

In the late 1980s, developers began work on [http://www.thevillageatblountsprings.com the Village at Blount Springs] , the first stage of a 6,000-acre planned community on the former site of the Blount Springs resort.
