History & geography

History

Alford was laid out by Elijah, Nathaniel and Samuel Alford on Nov. 8, 1856. A grade was made for the Straight Line Railroad, but the track was never laid. The school, a two-room building, closed in the 1960s (children were then bused to Petersburg). A general store also closed in the 1960s. There is one church, the United Methodist Church.
