More about Slocomb
The Central of Georgia Railway came through in 1897 and made Slocomb one of its stops, and a community grew up around the depot. In 1901 the Alabama Legislature designated it a town, named Slocomb, and the first post office was established that year. Downtown landmarks include Dalton Pharmacy, opened in 1903, Harris Brothers Hardware, a fixture since 1925, and the Segrest Gin and Mercantile Store, begun in the early 1940s. Farming has always driven Slocomb's economy, and the town calls itself the "home of the tomato," celebrating with a Tomato Festival on the third weekend of June.
