Aroney is an unincorporated community located on Sand Mountain in far southwestern DeKalb County, Alabama, United States, approximately five miles east of the city of Boaz.

The community's name was incorrectly spelled "Arona" on the 1966 USGS Base Maps.

[1] Conversely, "Aroney" is the name of the post office in the USGS database.

Many of the farmers, at the urging of the state agricultural department, fenced in their fields and started raising cattle.

For some period of time, there was a flashing light that was then downgraded to a 4-way stop intersection and finally to a through fare.
