Tuscaloosa Through Time
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a city steeped in history, blending its Civil War past, Civil Rights legacy, and modern growth around the flagship university.
Over its two hundred years of history, the city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has held a prominent position within the state, not only as home to the state's flagship university, but also taking turns as the State Capitol, as the location for the state mental health hospital, as the site of Civil War conflict, and as a Civil Rights landmark. A locale marked by rapid growth at the time of its formal incorporation, today's Tuscaloosa replicates that rapid development—witnessing industrial and commercial growth, a rising population, and an expanding University. Yet residents of contemporary Tuscaloosa are never far from their history and forebears, for beautiful reminders of its past dot the city and lend to its grace and charms, while uglier aspects of that past lend to its self—awareness and point the way toward more enlightened and just self—governance. Indeed, this rich and varied history claims for Tuscaloosa a compelling position in American memory.
