What it’s like
The place. Gallant is a very small community in Etowah County, Alabama, where every home is lived in by its owner. Poverty is less common here than in many places, and homes are valued well above what many small Alabama towns see. Winters are mild and cold only by Southern standards, summers are hot, and rain or melting snow falls generously through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels. Across Etowah County, some of the largest workplaces are Koch Foods Gadsden Processing Plant, Etowah County Schools and Gadsden Regional Medical Center. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. Horse Pens 40, a park, and Calvert Prong Little Warrior River are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Noccalula Falls Park is a botanical garden, and Lake Guntersville State Park is a protected area where there is room to get outdoors.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Etowah County and the Gadsden, AL metro.
