Intercourse is an unincorporated community located at a crossroads in Sumter County, Alabama, United States. A post office called Intercourse was established in 1840, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1913.[1] It is named for the traffic intersection of the town's crossroads (called "intercourse" at that time).[2] Although a share of the residents want the unusual name changed to Siloam, state maps still identify the place as Intercourse.[3]
