However, another states that the original name of the village, Chepultepec, probably named for the Battle of Chapultepec in the Mexican-American War, was changed to “Allgood” in December 1915. A local lime manufacturer believed he was not getting repeat business because of the difficulty in spelling the name of the village and persuaded the local postmaster to change the name, with the postmaster giving the village his own name of Allgood. The town was formally incorporated in 1959. In 2010, it became the first locality in Alabama to achieve a Hispanic plurality.

Oakman is a town in Walker County. At the 2010 census the population was 789, down from 944 in 2000. Oakman’s population according to the 2010 Census was 789. Of that number, 80.9 percent of respondents identified themselves as white, 18.4 percent as African American, 0.5 percent as two or more races, 0.1 percent as Native American, and 0.1 percent as Hispanic or Latino. The town’s median household income, according to 2010 estimates, was $30,395, and the per capita income was $16,976.
Initially named Day Gap, it was renamed Oakman and incorporated in 1895. The Oakman area initially was settled in the early to mid-1820s. The community was first called York after the first post office of that name, which opened in 1860. It was renamed Day’s Gap after a prominent local landowner, part of whose property consisted of a valley (known in local parlance as a “gap”) between two mountains that led into Oakman. Oakman first appeared on the 1890 census as the town of Day (or Day’s) Gap.
The community remained relatively small until 1884, when a line of the Georgia Pacific Railroad came through and made Oakman a shipping center for the county. The opening of a coal mine nearby also contributed to Oakman’s growth. Oakman was the first city in Walker County to install telephone lines.
