Alabama: Normal

N 41° 51.984' W 89° 18.574'

The word “normal” is used today for something standard or expected — usually not for town names. But in the 1800s, it was also a common word in college and university names — “normal” schools were what are now known as teacher’s colleges. The Huntsville Normal School (now called Alabama A&M University) opened in the community of Madison County, Alabama, in 1875. When the college moved to a new location in 1890, the small town it relocated to got a post office and took the school’s rather unassuming namesake of Normal. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee also have cities named Normal. '
