Exmoor is a small, unincorporated community located in Marengo County, Alabama, in the United States. This means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Long ago, Exmoor had its own school and even a post office!

What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood or a small group of homes that isn't officially part of a city or town. That's an unincorporated community! People live there, but they usually get services like police or fire protection from the county government, not a local city hall.

Where is Exmoor Located?

Exmoor is found in the western part of Alabama, within Marengo County. It sits about 125 feet (or 38 meters) above sea level. This community is in the Central Time Zone, just like many other places in the middle of the United States.

A Glimpse into Exmoor's History

For many years, Exmoor was a busy little community with its own school and a post office. However, in the 1920s, the school in Exmoor joined with Sweet Water High School. This is a common way for smaller schools to combine with larger ones, often to offer more classes or resources to students.
