Luverne, known as the Friendliest City in the South, traces its roots to 1889 when it was founded a mile east of the Patsaliga River on the Alabama Midland Railroad. Visionaries like M.P. Legrand, S.D. Hubbard, and George A. Folmar purchased land surrounding the railroad, propelling Luverne's rapid growth. If you like peanuts, consider attending the World’s Largest Peanut Boil, an event that Luverne holds the world record for. Today, Luverne thrives with modern attractions like Camellia House Bed & Breakfast and South Ridge Winery. Visitors can also visit Crenshaw County Lake for fishing and boating.
