Aliceville has a quality elementary and high school in the Pickens County school system. While academics is always the primary focus, as statistically the two schools rank amongst the top in the county, our citizens love cheering on the all Yellow Jacket athletic teams each year in the fall spring and fall semesters. The mission statement for Aliceville High School is "Inspiring ethical leaders...one child at a time."

The construction of Camp Aliceville began in August 1942 and was completed by December. The camp began receiving German POWs, at first mostly from Erwin Rommel's Afrika Corps, in June 1943. It comprised 400 wood-frame barracks, which could hold as many as 6,000 prisoners and 900 Army personnel. Aliceville was the largest of the eleven POW camps in the Southeastern U.S. By the end of the war Camp Aliceville held German prisoners captured in many different locations.  September 30, 1945. The camp was dismantled and sold for scrap after the war, and its only remaining trace is an old stone chimney.

The Aliceville Area Chamber of Commerce was organized in 1924 with the goal of fostering growth and well-being to industrial, agricultural and overall commercial interests of Aliceville and surrounding areas. We strive to promote the civic, economic and social welfare of the citizens of the Aliceville Area.
