Perdue Hill is a small, unincorporated community located in Monroe County, Alabama. 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.
Perdue Hill is known for a historic building called the Perdue Hill Masonic Lodge. This lodge is listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage, which means it's an important historical site in Alabama. Also, the home of William B. Travis, a famous figure from Texas history, is located near U.S. Route 84 in Perdue Hill. His home was moved here in 1985 from a nearby place called Claiborne.
