Jones Valley, Huntsville

The area was founded by Carl T. Jones, who purchased a 2,500 acre farm in 1939.^[2] Although much of that land has been developed, 33 acres have been preserved and opened to the public as the Jones Farm Park. The park contains two ponds, a pavilion, and a system of paved walking trails.^[3]
