South Haleyville is an unincorporated community of Haleyville, Alabama, United States. Most of Haleyville's industry is in this community. Much of South Haleyville lies in the parts of Haleyville that exist across the county line into Marion County.
Although it is colloquially named "South Haleyville," its physical location is actually on the western fringes of the city limits. Many of the homes in this community are in states of disrepair, and much of the thick, wooded vegetation is overgrown. Several tracts of land are unkempt and occupied by trailers where methamphetamine is manufactured. Men who live in this area have been known to randomly beat there wives, and children aspire to be on disability. Although most of the community is below the poverty line, there exist several nice, middle-class homes where a nicer grade of methamphetamine is produced. As of late 2013 there has been a large influx of individuals on disability moving to this area. "Disability Monthly", an esteemed periodical, rated South Haleyville as the #1 place for non-working individuals to migrate to.
