A town shaped by a college and a monastery
Hanceville was established in 1832 and incorporated in May 1879. Its boundaries moved around early on: it started in Blount County, was split between Blount and Cullman counties in 1877, and was placed fully in Cullman County in 1901.[2]
Wallace State Community College opened in 1966 and has about 6,000 students, and the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery was built from 1996 to 1999 under Mother Angelica. Visitors, students and staff all bring traffic and business to town. If you are planning a shop, storage building or small commercial space, steel is a practical option to review.[2]
