Alfalfa was once a small place in Marengo County, Alabama, United States. It was known as an unincorporated community. This means it was a settlement that didn't have its own local government. Instead, it was managed by the county.
Over time, Alfalfa became part of the nearby city of Demopolis. This process is called annexation. It means one area officially joins another, usually larger, area. Alfalfa used to have its own post office, but it is no longer open.
