| About
Madison AL |
The first known settler in
what was to become the City of Madison, Alabama, was John Cartwright, who arrived
in 1818.
The history of Madison as a town actually began in 1856 when tracks were laid
by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad company.
As more families moved into this fertile region, merchants were attracted and
a business district founded on what was to become Main Street.
During the War Between the States, growth was brought virtually to a standstill,
and one battle, referred to as "The Affair at Madison Station," was
fought on local soil.
The battle took place on May 17, 1864, when the federal soldiers took over the
railroad, which was on a direct route for men and supplies to be shipped to Georgia. |
At the end of the war, Madison
began to flourish once again.
New businesses opened and in 1869 James Bibb and others filed a petition with
the County Probate Judge to incorporate.
Today, Madison is one of the fastest growing cities in the southeastern United
States, with one of the highest per capita incomes.
The population is currently estimated at 36,500 and the retail sector continues
to grow, allowing the city to expand and improve public facilities and the infrastructure.
