The two schools were built in Caddo, a small community between Midway and Chalybeate.

Due to the new growth and their close proximity, Caddo and Midway grew into one community.

Today, most residents in Caddo and the East Lawrence community work and shop in nearby Decatur.

Many residents in Caddo also fear eventual annexation by the City of Decatur.

At the state and local level, Caddo is represented by state Senator Paul Bussman (R-Cullman), state Representative Ken Johnson (R-Hillsboro), County Commissioner Joey Hargrove (D-Caddo), county school board member Reta Waldrep (R-Caddo), and county Superintendent of Education Jon Bret Smith (R-Moulton).
