For a short period, it was an incorporated community beginning in 1908, and was listed in the 1910 U.S. Census as having 210 residents. That technically and briefly made it the largest town in Cherokee County, as neither the county seat of Centre nor Cedar Bluff returned census figures. HistoryA post office called Round Mountain was established in 1873, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1960.[2] The community was centered on the Round Mountain blast furnace.[3] The furnace first opened in 1852 and averaged 11 tons of iron manufactured per week.[4] It was the first furnace in Alabama to use red iron ore to produce iron.[5] The furnace was partially destroyed by Major General Francis Blair in 1864. It continued operation until closing in 1906.[6] Demographics{{US Census population|1910= 210 |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[7] }} References1. ^{{cite gnis|125974|Round Mountain}} {{Cherokee County, Alabama}}{{Alabama-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=AL&county=Cherokee | title=Cherokee County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=25 April 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IP4vAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2jsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3173%2C350872 | title=Cherokee County, Ala. | work=Calhoun Times | date=September 1, 2004 | accessdate=24 April 2015 | pages=46}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=J.
