Henson Springs is a small place in Lamar County, Alabama, in the United States. It's also known by other names like Cobb Town, Hansons Springs, or Webb. When we say it's an unincorporated community, it means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
A Look Back in Time
The names Henson Springs, Cobb Town, and Webb were all chosen to honor local families who lived in the area. For a short time, from 1892 to 1893, there was a post office operating under the name Henson Springs. This means people could send and receive mail right there in the community.
