Lacey's Spring is an unincorporated community in northeastern Morgan County, Alabama, United States at the base of Brindlee Mountain. Despite adjoining the southern outskirts of a much grown Huntsville, it remains in Morgan County's Decatur Metropolitan Area. Lacey's Spring also contributes to the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area.[2]
The community was established by three Virginia-born brothers, Hopkins, John, and Theophilus Lacy. The community took on their name and became the site for a U.S. post office in February 1831. "Lacy's Spring" became "Lacey's Spring" when the postal seal furnished by Washington officials mistakenly inserted an "e" into the name.[3]
