| About
Huntsville AL |
Huntsville is named after John
Hunt, the first Anglo-Saxon owner of the land around Big Spring and in 1811, Huntsville
was the first incorporated town in Alabama.
Huntsville was Alabama's first capital when it was admitted to the union, however
the capital was moved to Cahawba in 1820 and is now at Montgomery.
In 1855, the Memphis and Charleston Railroad was constructed through Huntsville.
After the Civil War, Huntsville became a center for cotton textile mills such
as Lincoln and Merrimack. Several of Huntsville's earliest neighborhoods were
built to house mill workers.
On the outbreak of World War II, Huntsville was chosen as the site of several
military manufacturing plants. |
The plants were almost shut
down in 1949 when they were no longer needed, but instead, the military used the
area for missile research and in 1950 they brought German rocket scientist Wernher
von Braun and his colleagues to Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal to work on the United
States' fledgling space program.
Huntsville is home to the Redstone Arsenal and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center,
and is nicknamed "the Rocket City" because of its history with U.S.
space missions and Huntsville continues to play an important role in the United
States' space shuttle and International Space Station programs.
