== Fun facts ==
* Although the town's per-capita income is over $50,000, Mooresville is within the area covered by the charter for the Appalachian Regional Commission, an organization whose goal is to help increase the per-capita income of impoverished areas. Mooresville is within Corridor V of the Appalachian Development Highway System.
* On April 3rd, 2007, the most powerful and deadliest tornado to ever hit the state of Alabama crossed the Tennessee River from Decatur and struck Mooresville directly. The entire town was completely incinerated - no building, structure or tree within the town limits was untouched. It's pretty much the reason why the town looks newer than it actually is.
* Country pioneer singer-songwriters The Delmore Brothers came from Elkmont.
* The Lester Hospital is not an actual hospital, instead, it's a haunted house. For medical care, locals go to Athens or Rogersville. It also has one small Pokemon Center, but no Pokemart.
* Ardmore is home to the Saturn IB rocket at the Alabama Welcome Center, just south of the Tennessee border, on Interstate 65.
* Although historically one to vote for Democrats during the 20th century, Limestone County was one of the first in North Alabama to start going consistently/straight Republican in the 80s and 90s, that trend showing no sign of reversing.
