Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama is the seat of Jefferson County;
however, portions of the city are also located in Shelby County. The
population of the city proper is 236,620 according to the 2003 estimate.
However, it serves as the primary nucleus for a sprawling urbanization
known as Greater Birmingham with 1,052,238 inhabitants.
Birmingham was founded in 1871, after the U. S. Civil War. Through the middle of the 20th century, Birmingham was the primary industrial center of the Southern United States. The major industries centered around iron and steel production. Over the course of the 20th century, while industry declined nationwide, the city's economy diversified. Though manufacturing is still a strong sector, Birmingham has also become a major medical research center and a regional banking and publishing power.
Home to a significant but rigorously segregated African American middle class, Birmingham was one of the battlegrounds of the American Civil Rights Movement throughout the 1960s. In recent years Birmingham has been named by various groups as one of the best U.S. cities in which to live.
