General Information about Arab

Arab is a city in Cullman and Marshall Counties in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Alabama, and is included in the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. The name of the city is pronounced "AY-rab" and was an unintentional misspelling by the US Postal Service, in 1882, of the city's intended name, taken from a city founder, Arad Thompson. Two other names for the city were sent to the US Postal Service for consideration. They were Ink and Bird. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 7,174. According to the 2005 U.S. Census estimates, the city had a population of 7,498. [1] In 2005, the municipality's 12% sales tax rate was the highest in the country. [2]
