Liberty Hill is a small, quiet place in Etowah County, Alabama, United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, the county government helps manage things for the people living there.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a group of homes or buildings that are not part of an official city or town. They don't have their own mayor or city council. Services like roads, police, and fire protection are usually handled by the county.

How They Are Different

Think of it like this: a city has its own rules and leaders. An unincorporated community follows the rules of the larger county it's in. This often means fewer local taxes but also fewer specific local services.

Where is Liberty Hill Located?

Liberty Hill is found in Etowah County, which is in the northeastern part of Alabama. It's about 5.3 miles (or 8.5 kilometers) east of a place called Sardis City.
