Located 20 miles south of Gadsden adjacent to Interstate 59, the small but growing town of Steele is cradled beneath the shadow of Chandler Mountain. The surrounding countryside is some of the most beautiful in St. Clair County. One of the most popular attractions in the Metro Birmingham region is in this area, the Alabama International Dragway. Drawing racing fans from across the Southeast, the track is located on Steele Stations Road. Steele was also the chosen site for the Saks Fifth Avenue Distribution Center. This major facility for the Birmingham-based corporation joins several other major employers in the local industrial park. With its available land, affordable homes, and prime location, Steele is expected to remain on a growth continuum for decades to come. Good schools, a developing economy, and outstanding recreational opportunities are attracting many new families to the area.
