A literal crossroads with some buildings and a construction plant nearby. I don't think this is a populated place. wizzito | say hello! 06:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and move to Weedville, Alabama. "Weed Crossroad" returns one newspaper result talking about an asphalt plant planned to be constructed there. However, "Weedville" in Alabama returns 365 matches. On 19 Feb 1931 we have a fairly expansive chronicle of the community, including all sorts of people who live and work there. There are several dozen results from then up to the 1960s, mostly in the society pages concerning people who lived there. In May 1977, this article mentions a "Weed Baptist Church, in the Weedville community". Searching for just "Weed" is much harder, since it's a common word, but "Weed community" brings up this from 1937 and this from 1961 (it seems that the place may have been named for H.T. Weed, a "prominent farmer" in the community who was also the deacon at the Weed Baptist Church. It seems that this was definitely an inhabited settlement, which people referred to as "Weedville", at least during the middle of the 20th century. I've added these sources to the article. jp×g 00:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
