Biohazard Cleanup Near Pine Level Historic District Pine Level, AL

Pine Level is a town in eastern Autauga County, Alabama, located along U.S. Route 31 north of Prattville and about 18 miles northwest of Montgomery, within the Montgomery metropolitan area.

The community takes its name from a broad, flat stretch of land of about two square miles, an unusual "level" amid the surrounding hills just north of the town site.

From 1941 to 1945, that flat ground beside the community served as the Deatsville Auxiliary Field, a World War II Army Air Forces pilot-training airfield associated with Gunter Field in Montgomery, before being returned to farmland after the war.

Pine Level was first counted by the U.S. Census Bureau as a census-designated place in the 2010 census, when the much larger statistical area recorded 4,183 residents; the CDP grew to 4,885 residents in 2020 across about 25 square miles.

On September 26, 2023, Pine Level residents voted 59 to 43 in a local referendum to incorporate as a town, motivated in part by a desire to keep tax dollars local and to prevent annexation by another municipality.

Pine Level's first mayor and five at-large town council members were elected on December 5, 2023, and sworn into office on December 11, 2023, making it one of Alabama's newest municipalities.

The incorporated town is far smaller than the old census-designated place: state records cited in an Alabama Attorney General opinion describe the town itself as representing fewer than 500 inhabitants.

Pine Level Elementary School, part of the Autauga County School System, has been annexed into the town, while Marbury High School serves the community from just outside the town boundaries.

The town's official motto is "A place to call home," and its fire protection is provided by the Pine Level Fire Department.
