Arab, located in Northeast Alabama, is a residential community with a unique history and evolving identity. Originally named Thompson’s Village, the city’s name was mistakenly recorded as Arab in 1882 and has remained ever since.

The city features traditional multi-level and ranch-style homes, often with brick exteriors, and offers lots and large parcels for building. U.S. Route 231 provides easy access to Huntsville, about 30 miles north, and Guntersville, less than 15 miles east, where Marshall Medical Center North is located.
