HistoryA post office was established in 1884 and was named Merrill, after the daughter of the postmistress, Adelia E. Frank. A school was established in the early 1900s.[2] The post office closed in 1923, and the school closed in 1927.[1][3] In 1929, a tornado struck an African-American church which was used as a school, demolishing the building and killing five pupils.[4] Merrellton was a historic junction for two now-abandoned railway lines, the East & West Railroad and the Southern Railway.[5] In 1996, the city of Jacksonville acquired from the Norfolk Southern Railway the track bed of the former Southern Railway which passed through Merrellton. The track bed was used to complete a portion of the Chief Ladiga Trail, Alabama's first rail trail.[6] Notable people
