Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Alabama city was once one of the world's biggest producers of coal. James Cain and Steve Busby were active in mining, handling, and shipping coal back in the early 1830s. They were the first coal operators in Walker County. In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, the huge underground mines brought into the area thousands of workers from many European countries.
The town slogan of "working people, working together" still describes the salt-of-the-earth, down-home people who work hard and are there for their neighbors. Just 40 miles northwest of Birmingham, Jasper is within Alabama's coal belt. It shouldn't be surprising then that Jasper's history includes time as a mining center. Today, its economy is more diversified with timber and poultry processing also contributing to the town's growth over the years.
The area that is now present-day Jasper was settled in the early 1800s. Named after Revolutionary War hero, Sergeant William Jasper, the town was incorporated in 1886. It was around this time that the town saw a major growth spurt when railroads first started coming to the area from as far away as Memphis, Kansas City, and southern parts of Alabama. The town saw some Civil War excitement when Union troops marching towards Selma, Alabama, stopped in Jasper long enough to torch the courthouse and other buildings and "appropriate" supplies from residents. More excitement, although a subdued version of it, happened for the town when President Franklin Roosevelt came to town to attend the funeral of resident and state politician William Bankhead.

Renting pet-friendly apartments in Jasper should offer peace of mind and convenience for our furry friends. It’s crucial to find an apartment that’ll work for both you and your pet. Before signing a pet-friendly apartment, take your time to study the layout and ask plenty of questions.
Some pet-friendly apartments in Jasper may request a pet deposit or only accept certain dog breeds. You should also consider if the floors are hardwood or carpeted. Hardwood may be easier to clean-up fur and a mess but could mean your neighbors below hear the tapping of your dog running past. An outdoor balcony can also be ideal for a pet who needs some fresh air.
Consider the neighborhood of any pet-friendly apartments in Jasper. Are they near a dog park or a vet? You should also research the rates of dog walkers in your area. It may be less expensive to move to a nearby neighborhood with a lower pet deposit, a better layout for your pet, and cheaper services.
