Welcome to Huntsville, Alabama

The largest city in northern Alabama, Huntsville was the first incorporated town in Alabama. Its quick growth was spurred by the need for cotton as well as the railroad industry. The city is the current home of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, where visitors can experience life in space and the long preparations necessary for astronauts. A high-tech city in the midst of the beauty of the Tennessee River Valley, Huntsville offers history, culture and outdoor excitement all in one place.
