Uriah (pronounced, in the local English dialect, "you-rye")[4] is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Monroe County, Alabama.

[5] The area was settled around the 1870s after the United States government had forcibly removed a majority of the American Indians to west of the Mississippi River.

The first three families to own property between Jeddo Road (located in Uriah) and the Atmore city limits were the Hollingers, Dees and Lomaxes.

For two and a half years, students attended school at the Masonic Lodge and the CCC Camp at Little River State Park.

In 1997, a group of five local white teenagers were found to have committed arson of a black church and vandalized another in the nearby rural community of Little River, Baldwin County, following a Ku Klux Klan rally.
