Ozark, is known as “The Home of Fort Rucker”, and is the Heart of Dale County. Ozark is a city of approximately 14,907 located in the corner of southeast Alabama. Dale County and Ozark have the best of both worlds….a small town atmosphere with friendly people, yet close to larger cities and other attractions. It is a great place to raise a family and a perfect place to retire.
