Century Still Seeking Slogan Suggestions
February 12, 2015
The Town of Century is still looking to the public for a help in finding a new identity, and there’s still just a day left to make suggestions.
The town is accepting new slogan ideas through February 13, with the town council to consider a winner at their regular meeting on February 16. Century Mayor Freddie McCall is personally contributing a $50 prize for the winner.
The town council has previously voted to eventually remove “Welcome to Century” signs that welcome visitors into Century from the north and south on Highway 29. The signs, dedicated two years ago, were built by Century Correctional Institution and feature a giant saw blade with the town’s most recent slogan “The Dawn of a New Century.”
“Our image needs to change,” Century Mayor Freddie McCall said recently, noting that the town’s sawmill has been closed for over 50 years. “We are not a sawmill town anymore.” He said the signs would be donated to the local Alger Sullivan Historical Society for use in their museum.

The change is coming after a recommendation from Brice Harris of the University of West Florida’s Haas Center, author of the town’s new strategic plan.

Century–If you Can’t Stop–Wave
Snow Bunny capitol of Florida.
How about this one “Welcome To Century, A Moving Target Is Hard To Hit.”
“The Genuine Article”
Century: a place where people not only know your name, but your business as well, and what they don’t know they make-up
Century
Small town, Big Heart!
century- no where fast.
To the tune of that Alan Jackson song Little Bitty-
♫ Well it’s alright, if you wanna come to Century,
Little ol’ town, not a big ol’ city,
Might as well share, might as well smile,
Just drive south from Alabama half a mile ♫
Yeah I know it’s not a slogan, but I couldn’t resist
Century-Like no other place on earth!
@Thinker – I wouldn’t be so confident of that. Paxton butts up against Florala and the Alabama line just like Century does to Flomaton. You also have Esto and, even though “longitudinally” speaking they are farther South, Chattahootchee and Jennings are also “on Top of Florida.” We gotta give credit where credit is due.
“Always on Top of Florida” Century appears to be the most northern latitudenal town in Florida.
Century- Forward into the past!
drugs and thugs
“Welcome to your first speed trap in Florida.”
Slogan for Century, ‘A Community that Cares’
There is nothing wrong with the old slogan, “The Dawn of a New Century.” It tells it all we are trying to head forward, it is the sign that actually dates the town, (a sawmill blade). Opp, Alamba has been taking advantage of their name for years, OPPortunity!!
