Birmingham
Hotels
Birmingham is the largest
city in the state of Alabama in the United States. It is the county seat
of Jefferson County and includes part of Shelby County. It is also
the largest city in the Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman Combined Statistical
Area, colloquially known as Greater Birmingham, which contains roughly
one quarter of the population of Alabama.
| Birmingham was founded in
1871, just after the American Civil War, as an industrial enterprise. It
was named after Birmingham, one of the UK's major industrial cities. Through
the middle of the 20th century, Birmingham was the primary industrial center
of the Southern United States. The astonishing pace of Birmingham's growth
through the turn of the century earned it the nicknames "The Magic City"
and "The Pittsburgh of the South". Much like Pittsburgh in the north, Birmingham's
major industries were iron and steel production.
Over the course of the 20th
century, the city's economy diversified. Though the manufacturing industry
maintains a strong presence in Birmingham, other industries such as banking,
insurance, medicine, publishing, and biotechnology have risen in stature.
Birmingham has been recognized as one of the top cities for income growth
in the United States South with a significant increase in per capita income
since 1990.
Today, Birmingham ranks as
one of the most important business centers in the Southeastern United States
and is also one of the largest banking centers in the U.S. In addition,
the Birmingham area serves as headquarters to one Fortune 500 company:
Regions Financial. Five Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in Birmingham. |
