Eoline is a small, unincorporated community located in Bibb County, Alabama, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
You can find Eoline along U.S. Route 82, about 8.1 miles (13 km) northwest of Centreville. In 2011, a very strong tornado hit the area. Sadly, the Eoline Fire Department building was destroyed during this storm.
