Founded in the mid 1800's by Alfred Collins and surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of northeast Alabama, Collinsville is a great place to call home. With a current population of 1995, Collinsville has excellent schools and churches, a wonderful old southern culture, property available for new business and industry, and a Municipal Government that is committed to improving an already great town. Your visit to Collinsville will almost certainly include a drive down shady streets lined with great old homes, a taste of southern 'home cooking' at one of the unique restaurants, and a friendliness seldom experienced this day and time. Or, maybe a visit to one of the south's oldest and largest flea markets will be the highlight of your stay - Collinsville Trade Day is held every Saturday, rain or shine, and is located at the south end of town on U.S. The Collinsville Police Department is a full time department consisiting of the Chief, Asst. The Collinsville Police Department also has 5 full time dispatchers/jailers.
