Alexandria is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Calhoun County, Alabama, United States.
It would not appear separately on the census again until it was made a census-designated place (CDP) in 2000.
There were 1,599 housing units at an average density of 143.6 per square mile (55.4/km2).
20.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
In 1960, the precincts were merged and/or reorganized into census divisions (as part of a general reorganization of counties) and it was renamed the Websters Chapel/Alexandria Valley Census Division.
The Battle of Tallushatchee was fought in 1813, when Andrew Jackson sent General John Coffee with 900 dragoons (cavalry) to attack the Red Stick Creek Indians, 3.2 miles (5.1 km) north of Alexandria.
Legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett participated in the ensuing massacre, where 180 warriors were killed.
