About City

Birmingham (/ˈbɜːrmɪŋhæm/ BUR-Ming-ham) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Alabama and the county seat of Jefferson County. The city's population was 212,237 in the 2010 United States Census. In the 2010 US Census, the Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan Statistical Area had a population of about 1,128,047, which is approximately one-quarter of Alabama's population.

From its founding through the end of the 1960s, Birmingham was a primary industrial centre of the southern United States. Its growth from 1881 through 1920 earned its nicknames as The Magic City and The Pittsburgh of the South. Its major industries were iron and steel production, plus a major component of the railroading industry. Rails and railroad cars were both manufactured in Birmingham. Since the 1860s, the two primary hubs of railroading in the Deep South have been nearby Atlanta and Birmingham. The economy diversified in the latter half of the 20th century. Banking, telecommunications, transportation, electrical power transmission, medical care, college education, and insurance have become major economic activities. Birmingham ranks as one of the largest banking centres in the United States and as one of the most important business centres in the Southeast.

There are tons of great places to eat in Birmingham, but one of our favourites is Paramount Burgers, located near McWane Centre.

It has many places to visit such as the Birmingham Museum of Art, Vulcan Park, Rickwood Field, the Botanical Gardens, Regions Field, McWane Science Centre, Birmingham Zoo, Arlington Antebellum Home, Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Southern Museum of Flight, Alabama Theatre, the Sloss Furnaces Historic Landmark, Birmingham Children's Theatre, Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve, Alabama Splash Adventure, Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, Civil Rights Institute, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, and Kelly Ingram Park. For little ones, don't miss McWane Science Centre and The Birmingham Zoo! Other outdoor recreation areas include Oak Mountain State Park, Railroad Park, and Red Mountain Park.
