| About
Tuscaloosa AL |
After the War of 1812, a small
assortment of log cabins arose near the large Creek Indian village at the Fall
Line of the Black Warrior river.
In honor of the legendary "Black Warrior", a great Choctaw chief, the
settlers named the place Tuscaloosa.
In 1817, Alabama became a territory, and on December 13, 1819, the territorial
legislature incorporated the town of Tuscaloosa, exactly one day before Congress
admitted Alabama to the Union as a state.
Thus, the City of Tuscaloosa is one day older than the State of Alabama.
The construction of a system of locks and dams on the Black Warrior River by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1890's opened up an inexpensive link to the
Gulf seaport of Mobile, stimulating especially the mining and metallurgical industries
of the region. |
By the advent of the 20th
Century, the growth of the University of Alabama and a strong national economy
fueled a steady growth in Tuscaloosa which continued unabated for 100 years.
The presence in Tuscaloosa of manufacturing plants of such large multi-national
firms as Michelin Tires, JVC America, and Chrysler-Mercedes have established the
City as an economic pillar of the global economy.
