It is not truly a "decision," since no one actually "decided" that Shurfiel' is the Center of the Shoals. It is no more than an opportunistic opinion, seized upon by the city fathers of Shurfiel' for promotional purposes.

 

I am pretty certain that no one consulted a geographer for a determination of just where the geographic center of the Shoals is found. Is there any "official" designation of the precise boundaries of the Shoals anyway? Is the Shoals everything within Lauderdale, Colbert, Limestone and Franklin Counties or something else?

Notice he can't spell Sheffield.

Notice that you have not paid much attention to the way many folks in Shurfiel' and elsewhere in the Shoals pronounce the name of that city.

Cherokee and seven mile island. That makes it the center.

Florence is the largest and principal city of the Metropolitan Statistical Area known as "The Shoals” , which includes Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia, metropolitan areas in Colbert and Lauderdale counties.  Florence is considered the primary economic hub of northwestern Alabama.

Actually, if you count Waterloo, St Florian, Killen and Rogersville then Florence would be the center of the shoals. Not sure if Red Bay is considered to be in the Shoals. Just to start a fire but if the Metropolitan area is always named after the largest city, why was the name changed from Florence Metropolitan area to the Florence-Muscle Shoals or Shoals Metropolitan area?

Unlike certain local residents, Puppy, you have a well-tuned ear.  Perhaps that is because you benefit from  an outsider's perspective.
