The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

McMullen is a town in Pickens County, Alabama, United States. It incorporated around 1976. A series of natural disasters has caused the population to dwindle. As of 2010, it was the smallest incorporated town in the state of Alabama. It was overtaken by Oak Hill in 2020. The population was 32 at the 2020 United States census, up from 10 in 2010.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 10 to 32 (+220%). Half of its homes were built before 1966.

Nothing in McMullen is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean McMullen has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Parks E. Ball House in Aliceville, 1.3 miles away.
