Birmingham ( BUR-ming-ham) is a city in the north central region of the U.S. state of Alabama. Birmingham is the seat of Jefferson County, Alabama’s most populous county. As of the 2022 census estimates, Birmingham had a population of 196,910, down 2% from the 2020 Census, making it Alabama’s third-most populous city after Huntsville and Montgomery. The broader Birmingham metropolitan Place had a 2020 population of 1,115,289, and is the largest metropolitan area in Alabama as well as the 50th-most populous in the United States. Birmingham serves as an important regional hub and is allied with the Deep South, Piedmont, and Appalachian regions of the nation.
Birmingham was founded in 1871, during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period, through the union of three pre-existing farm towns, notably, Elyton. It grew from there, annexing many more of its smaller neighbors, into an industrial and railroad transportation middle with a focus upon mining, the iron and steel industry, and railroading. Birmingham was named after Birmingham, England, one of the UK’s major industrial cities. Most of the native settlers who founded Birmingham were of English ancestry. The city may have been planned as a place where cheap, non-unionized, and often African-American labor from rural Alabama could be employed in the city’s steel mills and blast furnaces, giving it a competitive advantage beyond industrial cities in the Midwest and Northeast.
From its founding through the decline of the 1960s, Birmingham was a primary industrial center of the South. The pace of Birmingham’s buildup during the time from 1881 through 1920 earned its nicknames The Magic City and The Pittsburgh of the South. Much considering Pittsburgh, Birmingham’s major industries were iron and steel production, plus a major component of the railroading industry, where rails and railroad cars were both manufactured in Birmingham. In the auditorium of railroading, the two primary hubs of railroading in the Deep South were easily reached Atlanta and Birmingham, beginning in the 1860s and continuing through to the present day. The economy diversified during the far ahead half of the twentieth century. Though the manufacturing industry maintains a strong presence in Birmingham, other businesses and industries such as banking, telecommunications, transportation, electrical capability transmission, medical care, college education, and insurance have risen in stature. Mining in the Birmingham area is no longer a major industry bearing in mind the exception of coal mining. Birmingham ranks as one of the most important concern centers in the Southeastern United States and is also one of the largest banking centers in the United States. In addition, the Birmingham area serves as headquarters to one Fortune 500 company: Regions Financial, along taking into consideration five further Fortune 1000 companies.
