Encyclopedic overview
Phenix City is a city in Lee and Russell counties in the U.S. state of Alabama, and the county seat of Russell County with northern and western parts crossing over into neighboring Lee County. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 38,817.
Phenix City lies immediately west across the Chattahoochee River from Columbus, Georgia and observes Eastern Time on a de facto basis (in contrast to the rest of Alabama, which observes Central Time) due to Phenix City's strong economic ties to Columbus. Most of Phenix City is included in the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area, and the remainder is in Lee County and therefore included in the Auburn, Alabama Metropolitan Statistical Area. The entire city is part of the Columbus-Auburn-Opelika Combined Statistical Area.
