NAME: Stanton COUNTY: Chilton ROADS: 2WD GRID: 5 CLIMATE: Hot muggy summers, mild winters BEST TIME TO VISIT: Any

COMMENTS: Approximately 20 miles north of Selma, located on State Highway 22, just south of Maplesville. REMAINS: A few residents remain, two churches remain functioning. (Ebenezer Baptist is a state historic landmark.) Numerous abandoned trailers, storefronts, and wooden buildings.

This area of the state is rich in timber. A large International Paper factory is to the north in the town of Maplesville. Stanton was likely also linked to forestry. Submitted by: Christopher Cuomo
