 Welcome to Daleville, the Gateway to Fort Rucker. Daleville is proud to be Fort Rucker‘s closest neighbor and staunch supporter of the hi-tech aviation training which puts the home of army aviation on the cutting edge as it prepares pilots for service on the modern battlefield. Daleville is equally pleased to be known as the home of the Army Aviation Museum , which houses one of the largest helicopter collections in the world and is one of the premier tourist attractions in the state. Whether you are a military family on a tour of duty at Fort Rucker , a company executive doing business with one of the many contractors in town, a visitor seeing family members or a prospective new resident, we hope you will find Daleville to be a charming blend of cultures that opens it arms to all. Daleville is a city on the move, with city officials, Chamber of Commerce leaders, businesses and community residents working for a better future through economic growth and public improvements. Here, you will find an excellent school system, which traditionally boasts test scores that exceed state and national averages as well as state JROTC Rifle and girls and boys weightlifting teams. The Pride of the South Marching Band and JROTC also offer students a chance to participate in high-quality programs which have been recognized on national and state levels. The Daleville Community Center provides year-round recreational activities such as youth league basketball, baseball, and adults can enjoy taking a relaxing trek on the walking trail at Culpepper Park or playing tennis on the park courts. Moderate temperatures in south Alabama allow residents of the area to enjoy golfing, fishing, hunting and other outdoor sports all year long. In addition, the sunny beaches of north Florida and southwest Alabama are only a Sunday drive away and the hustle-bustle of Underground Atlanta and the excitement of Braves baseball games are within striking distance. The number of restaurants in Daleville, which have earned it the nickname "The City that Feeds Fort Rucker," tantalize the taste buds of residents and visitors alike who treasure the pleasure of variety. They can choose almost anything from German to Italian and Oriental. A quiet community with the benefits of a rural atmosphere, Daleville values its senior citizens facility, its churches and a strong Department of Public Safety which provides police, fire, and rescue services. Local residents also benefit from Prime Care Medical Clinic. The City of Daleville will be presenting activities each month in conjunction with the 2010 Small Town Down Town Celebration. The kick off event will be held at the Daleville Public Library, 308 Donnell Blvd., Feb 7, 2010 at 3:00 PM. The program will include the History of the Daleville Public Library and also "The Big Read" - Alabama Reads The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. This event will be open to the Public. |
