Lacey's Spring, Alabama

Lacey's Spring is an unincorporated community in northeastern Morgan [County, Alabama|Morgan County], Alabama, United States at the base of Brindlee Mountain. Despite adjoining the southern outskirts of a much grown Huntsville, it remains in Morgan County's Decatur, [Alabama Metropolitan Area|Decatur Metropolitan Area]. Lacey's Spring also contributes to the Huntsville-Decatur Combined [Statistical Area].
The community was established by three Virginia-born brothers, Hopkins, John, and Theophilus Lacy. The community took on their name and became the site for a U.S. post office in February 1831. "Lacy's Spring" became "Lacey's Spring" when the postal seal furnished by Washington officials mistakenly inserted an "e" into the name.
