Community Introduction

The City of Enterprise, Alabama, is truly unique in that it combines the charm of the old South with the progress and forward-thinking of the new South. This blend of tradition and progress makes Enterprise inviting to visitors, as well as to those looking to call Enterprise home.

Situated in southeast Alabama about 180 miles from Birmingham and Mobile respectively, Enterprise is 27 miles due north of the Florida panhandle. Enterprise is just a short drive from the crystal waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and just a half day’s drive from Atlanta, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Mobile and Huntsville.

The climate is temperate and completely agreeable. January averages a temperature of 48 degrees and July averages 80 degrees. The annual average precipitation is 74 inches, and the growing season is approximately 263 days.

Offering a diverse palette of cultural, recreational and educational activities, Enterprise has shopping and dining available throughout the City and the historic downtown area, plus several shopping centers and other local businesses abound in the surrounding area. Enterprise has walking trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, a lake and picnic facilities available to guests.

Temperate year-round weather allows for golf, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities throughout all four seasons.

Enterprise also offers medical care usually found only in larger cities. A 131-bed acute care hospital provides high-quality medical services. Forty-seven doctors and 15 dentists have practices or offices located throughout the City.

With one foot planted firmly in the past and the other pointed toward the future, Enterprise is a community rich in southern tradition with a plan for future growth. The forward-moving and modern City government calls Enterprise “The City of Progress,” others call it “The City of Champions.” Some folks even call Enterprise “The Boll Weevil Capital” of the U.S. However, after just a short stay in the warm, friendly and inviting community, any visitor will realize why the people here simply call Enterprise “home.”
