Montgomery has had a long and storied history as the capital of Alabama. Sitting on the banks of the Alabama River, Montgomery was originally two competing towns, called East Alabama and New Philadelphia. Shortly after they joined in 1819 to form Montgomery, the newly incorporated town became the capital of the state.

Montgomery is where Rosa Parks made perhaps the most famous bus ride in history, and was in general a focal point of the civil rights movement. Montgomery is now undergoing a modern resurgence as a major business and educational center of Alabama. New developments and new industries are once again putting Montgomery on the map.
