Dolomite, Alabama, United States

Dolomite is a small town in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States, located approximately 16 miles southeast of downtown Birmingham and part of the Birmingham-Hoover metropolitan area.

In-town amenities include a small business district, community parks and schools, and the town is conveniently connected to Birmingham via state highways for residents seeking low-density living.
