Jumbo is an unincorporated community in Chilton County, Alabama, United States.
A post office called Jumbo was established in 1882, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904.[1]
A variety of dolomite, called the Jumbo Dolomite, is named for the community due to its presence in exposures and quarries near Jumbo.[2] [3]
