Town of Akron
Akron is a town in Hale County, Alabama, United States. On January 18, 1906, landowners Charles E. Waller, Charles Lichtman and M.H. Murphy sold at public auction a great number of individual business and residential lots which would be developed into the town of Akron, Alabama. Akron became the fastest growing town in Hale County, and in a few years had grown to include a modern post office, railroad depot, various retail businesses, barber shop, hotel, drug store, concrete and block factory, wheel spoke factory, lumber mills, and attractive residences. The town was incorporated in March 1918. As of the 2020 census, Akron had a population of 225. Akron has one site on the National Register of Historic Places, the Greek Revival cottage known as Tanglewood.
