Saragossa is a small, unincorporated community located in Walker County, Alabama, in the United States. 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. Instead, it's governed by the county.
History of Saragossa
Saragossa probably got its name from the Zaragoza province in Spain. Many places in the United States were named after places in other countries by early settlers.
From 1890 to 1967, Saragossa had its own post office. This means that for many years, people living in Saragossa could send and receive mail right in their community. The post office was an important part of daily life for the people who lived there.
