EXPERIENCE ENTERPRISE and you’ll find an endearing community that thrives on an enchanting combination of Southern traditions and contemporary style. Enterprise, with a population of almost 30,000, continues to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Alabama, thanks to the enduring spirit of the people. That spirit is reflected in the diverse local economy, serving to preserve the city’s rich heri
tage while also embracing the high-tech, job-producing aviation and automotive industries. Providing a great education is a priority in Enterprise, where the award-winning school system has a long-standing tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, extra-curricular activities and the arts. Enterprise is a rather small city, but it’s anything but a sleepy little town. It is usually humming with fun and satisfying activities such as youth sports tournaments, concerts and plays sponsored by the Coffee County Arts Alliance, fun-filled festivals along Main Street Downtown, at our Farmers Market and at Johnny Henderson Family Park. Our charming, vivacious downtown and the outlying shopping centers feature unique locally owned boutiques, contemporary retail stores and a variety of dining choices from fine cuisine to ice cream treats. Many residents and visitors alike are drawn to the Pea River Historical Society’s Museum, as well as the downtown mural that tells the story of the Boll Weevil, an evil pest responsible for giving Enterprise its footnote in world history. The famous Boll Weevil Monument, the only monument in the world that pays tribute to a pest, graces the intersection of Main and College streets. The beautiful Grecian lady holding the pest is a focal point and the city’s most popular attraction. The Southern Broadway Dinner Theatre, and local art and music events provide numerous cultural arts opportunities in the city, and Enterprise has beautiful parks with walking trails, splash pad, athletic fields, picnic areas, disc golf course, dog park and a number of playgrounds. The Enterprise Farmers Market helps bring fresh, healthy produce to the tables of local residents. With this and so much more to offer, Enterprise is well worth the experience.
