Conveniently located in the Southern part of Marshall County, as well as a portion of Northern Etowah County.

We are a small town with a family friendly environment that attracts young families, growing families, and retirees.

Boaz is located 17 miles from Interstate 59, a direct corridor to Birmingham which is 73 miles south and Chattanooga, Tennessee which is 89 miles north. Boaz is also located along Alabama Highway 431 and situated only 53 miles from Huntsville, Alabama.
