Arab, Alabama was incorporated in 1892, though it established in the 1840s and was previously known as ”Thompson’s Village”. This quaint feeling city is located between Huntsville and Guntersville, a top Brindlee Mountain, which is one of the highest points in the state. Brindlee Mountain sits at the Southwest end of the Appalachian Plateau. Arab is located in both Marshall and Cullman Counties. The name of this city was actually an unintentionally misspelled word. The town was to be called Arad after the son of the town’s founder. However, the postal service misspelled the name and now Arab is commonly listed on lists of places with unusual names.
