Manchester is an unincorporated community in Walker County, Alabama, United States. Manchester is located along Alabama State Route 195, {{convert|6.1|mi|km}} north-northeast of Jasper.

History

Manchester was founded as a lumber center.[2] The Manchester Lumber Company owned a large amount of the surrounding timber land and built a school and Baptist church for the community.[3]{{Self-published inline|certain=yes|date=December 2017}} Much of the lumber produced in Manchester was used to make flatboats, which were used to transport coal.[4] For a short time, the Manchester Coal Company mined coal in the area.[5]

A post office operated under the name Manchester from 1907 to 1957.[6]

In popular culture

Manchester is listed as the hometown of the comic book superhero Impulse.[7]
