Moulton
The census district of Moulton from 1900 to 1940 is divided east and west. The majority of the African American community of Moulton lived on the west
side in the communities of southeast Moulton and Kimo to the northeast. The African American community of west Moulton were residents of the Landersville area. The western community is significantly smaller than the eastern community and is an example of the racial segregation of the landscape in North Alabama. Although the African American community in Moulton has had a strong influence on the area, in the early 20th century, the percentage of African American households was never more than 25%. As of 2010, Moulton's population was 13.1% African American.
In 1900, there were 284 total households in east Moulton, 43% of which were African American. While the east side's population grew to 362 by 1910, the number of African American households remained the same, constituting only 35% of Moulton. While the African American population of Moulton continued to wax and wane, between 1920 and 1930, the (Below) 1936 USGS/TVA Topographic Map of Moulton, Moulton, Alabama Quadrangle
