Mount Sterling is an unincorporated community in Choctaw County, Alabama, United States.[1] Mount Sterling was once a prosperous antebellum community, with an economy based on cotton and timber, but today little is left other than a few scattered houses. One church building, the Mount Sterling Methodist Church, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3]
Mount Sterling's population as an unincorporated community was listed as 126 at the 1880 U.S. Census, the only time a figure was returned.
