* Thanks to D.L. Powell for sending the Broomtown report. That community is located in North Cherokee County in NE Alabama. It is a small community at the intersection of County Roads 46 and 99 about midway between New Moon and Ringgold. The Dirtseller NE to SW ridge is east and south of the area and Broomtown is in a valley. There is no end to my fascination about place names. For example, why were Broomtown and New Moon named that? I have wondered for years how the Dirtseller Ridge got that name!
