Kilpatrick, Alabama is a town in Alabama, United States.
Kilpatrick, Alabama is a town in DeKalb county, Alabama, located west to Crossville, and east to Boaz. It has roughly 300 residents, but fluctuates to around 2,000 due to undocumented laborers.[1] Kilpatrick has a large number of undocumented residents that flow in and out of the rural area of the town, affecting the true permanent size of the city. Kilpatrick became incorporated as a city in August 26th, 2025,[2] as the 17th incorporated municipality in DeKalb county,[3] and the 466th municipality in Alabama,[4] despite attempting for incorporation for many years prior.[5] Many residents are attracted to the city due to its growth in the poultry industry. Kilpatrick has a very high percentage of Latin Americans who have moved here in response to its growing poultry industry.[6] Its first mayor is Richard Bruce,[7] and he was sworn in in 2025.
