Birmingham’s Perks!
Founded in 1871 and named after Birmingham, England, Birmingham, Alabama was built at the crossing of two rail lines near one of the world’s richest deposits of minerals. It quickly became a center for iron and steel production causing it to grow so fast that people claimed it “magically” appeared, making it the “Magic City.” Over the years, Birmingham has gone from an industrial city to the center of the civil rights movement to the modern city it is today. Home to one of the finest medical and research centers in the country as well as a celebrated food and arts scene, Birmingham has so much to offer for the young and the old, singles and families alike.
Little known facts outside of Alabama
Birmingham is the only geographic location in the world where iron ore, coal and limestone are found naturally within a 10-mile radius. Because of this, Birmingham boomed as a metalworking powerhouse in its early history. Today, it is a city with much more to offer than just an industrial atmosphere. It is known for its vibrant culture, diverse experiences and food scene as well as its rich history and Southern charm.
