Discover Dora
Dora, a coal mining town in Walker County, was first settled in the early 1830s by James M. Davis, Ezekiel Morgan and Cole Smith, and homesteaders followed later in that decade.
More about Dora
In 1886 the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad laid a line through the settlement and named its depot Sharon. The Magella Coal Company and the Horse Creek Coal and Coke Company were founded, and by 1890 the area was called Horse Creek. It was incorporated as the town of Horse Creek in 1897, and by 1900 several coal mines operated nearby, along with a school, churches, businesses and doctors. The town was renamed Dora in 1906. In 2023 Dora annexed land connecting it to Interstate 22 at exit 78, giving the town direct interstate access for the first time. Sources Wikipedia: Dora, Alabama
