Almond, also known as Flat Rock, is an unincorporated community in Randolph County, Alabama, United States.
The community was most likely named for its first postmaster, Almond P. Hunter.[1] A post office called Almond was established in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1913.[2]
Almond has never reported separately as an unincorporated community on the U.S. Census. However, the 8th beat/precinct of Randolph County, was named "Flat Rock" (the earlier name for Almond) from 1870[3] -1910 and as Almond from 1920[4] -1950. In 1960, the precinct was merged as part of a larger reorganization of counties into the census division of Wadley.[5]
