The proud recipient of the Governor's Award for the "Cleanest City in Alabama," Jasper serves as the heartbeat and governmental seat of Walker County.  This lovely community attracts newcomers to well-developed commercial conveniences, picturesque parks, recreational facilities, and quiet neighborhoods lined with a medley of homes that show pride of ownership.  The city is home to a beautiful campus for Bevill State Community College and features historic Davis Hall as well as many modern amenities including a residence hall.  The regional healthcare leader of Walker Baptist Medical Center is also located in Jasper, providing state-of-the-art services from medical and surgical specialties to a new women's center and senior care unit.  Housing options range from lovely older homes shaded by mature greenery to newer construction in a variety of architectural styles and settings.  The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for generous acreage and horse properties for those who enjoy a rural atmosphere at the edge of urban development.
