Talladega County, Alabama
Talladega County stretches across east-central Alabama, with Talladega as its seat. The Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR’s longest oval track, is the main attraction here.
But it’s not all about speed. Talladega is also home to the Talladega National Forest and Cheaha Mountain, Alabama’s highest peak. Both are great for hiking, camping, and stunning views.
The population is around 80,000, spread across a mix of small towns. U.S. Highway 280 and Interstate 20 are key highways in this county. The county’s history is reflected in places like the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind.
