Mountain Mills is an unincorporated community in Colbert County, Alabama, United States.
In 1872, a group of men in Colbert County, including N. F. Cherry, organized the Mountain Mill Company.
The company was organized with the intent of building a cotton mill to produce thread and cloth.
The Globe Factory in Florence, Alabama was burned by troops from the 10th Missouri Volunteer Cavalry in 1863 and rebuilt as the Cypress Mill.
The mill contained 6,000 spindles, 41 cards, and produced single and ply yarn.
