Tumbleton is an unincorporated community in Henry County, Alabama, United States.

History

The origin of the name Tumbleton is uncertain, but it likely comes from the combination of tumble and ton (a shortened form of town). The settlement was founded in the 1890s, at the crossing of two railroads. It was formerly home to several stores, a cotton gin, grist mill, saw mill, and school.

The Tumbleton soil series is named after the community.
