Kellerman, Alabama

Kellerman is an unincorporated community in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, United States, six miles (9.7 km) north of Brookwood.

The community formed around a coal mining operation owned by the Central Iron & Coal Co. of New York.

When mining operations ceased in 1962, almost all of the nearly 5,000 residents eventually moved away leaving less than 10 houses remaining.
