I come from a small town in Alabama. This town is called Locust Fork.

Locust Fork was founded by Andrew Jackson in 1813 when he camped at the fork in the river. While at camped he carved his name and the town name into a locust tree. Hence the reason why it is called Locust Fork.

Locust Fork has one highway that runs through it called Highway 79. Locust Fork does have a few buildings. It also has a school that includes: elementary, middle, and high school. There is fast food like Jack's, Subway, a Mexican Restaurant, and soon a Burger King. There are also some small businesses like a gas station, a hardware store, a Dollar General, a barber shop, and many other places.

There is also a park that has a playground and baseball/softball fields. The park is the best place to see everyone. Growing up in Locust Fork you learn that anything can be fun. As long as you are doing it with friends it can be fun. Locust Fork is my home and I am proud to be from here.
