Pine Level is a town and former census-designated place (CDP) in Autauga County, Alabama, north of Prattville and west of Deatsville. As of the 2010 census, the CDP's population was 4,183. The town is part of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Geography
The town is located along U.S. Route 31, 18 mi (29 km) northwest of Montgomery and 77 mi (124 km) south of Birmingham, both via I-65. The Town's current boundaries center on the U.S. Route 31 and Autauga County Roads 40 and 107 vicinity.
The Town is located just south of a large (approximately 2 square mile) geographic flat in an otherwise moderately hilly region that gave the area and community its name.
History
From 1941-1945, the large flat area adjacent to town was home to the Deatsville Auxiliary Field, an auxiliary Air Corps/Army Air Force pilot training air field associated with Gunter Field in Montgomery, Alabama. After WWII it was converted back to farmland.
The community of Pine Level held a local referendum on September 26, 2023. Of the 300-plus eligible voters in the Pine Level community, 59 voted for incorporation and 43 voted against. The ballots were tallied at the Autauga County Probate Office that evening. The outcome came after more than a year of work and campaigning. Residents who favored incorporation stated that the establishment of a town would help keep tax dollars local and prevent another municipality from annexing Pine Level. A census of the residents located within the town's proposed boundaries was subsequently conducted before municipal elections were ordered to be held on December 5, 2023. On that day, the inaugural mayor and five at-large town council members were elected. Mayor Zachary Bigley and the five council members were all were sworn into office on December 11, 2023.
