'''Mountainboro''' is a neighborhood in the city of [[Boaz, Alabama]].

==History==
Mountainboro was incorporated on October 31, 1963. Additional land was annexed into the town on March 12, 1981, and September 14, 1993. The 1993 annexation included the Skyhaven Estate subdivision. In October 2007, a referendum that proposed annexation of Mountainboro by the city of [[Boaz, Alabama|Boaz]] passed by a one-vote margin. The result of the referendum was challenged, and legal activities delayed further action until 2009. Etowah County Circuit Judge David Kimberley upheld the result of the referendum, and Mountainboro as a town ceased to exist on August 14, 2009.<ref>Yencer, Kerry.
