Montgomery is Alabama’s capital and is the second most populous city in the state. The city was actually conceived as a merger between two smaller towns in the area in 1819 and was renamed Montgomery after the American Revolution general who died not long before the merger. The area was originally settles by whites in the beginning of the 1800’s, and despite the misconception the city was not the first capital of Alabama. While it was still a territory, the city of St. Stephens as well as Huntsville each had that accord.
During the Civil War, it served as the capital of the Confederate States of America before it was changed to Richmond, VA, in 1861. During the war itself, the city was mostly spared, thanks to its location and the fact that the capital had been moved to Richmond early in the war to keep the war near the Border States. However, Alabama (and Montgomery, especially) suffered severe infrastructural damage due to Sherman’s ‘total war’ campaign against the region.
The city also served as a beacon for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s, and was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King’s church while he was a pastor there. In fact, Dr. King’s four day march for justice was conducted from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. However, during the 20th Century, the city fell on hard times with its lack of manufacturing and major economic crises engulfed the city. Its revival came when the Hyundai Motor Corporation built its first automobile plant in the city, revitalizing jobs and bringing the economy back on track.
Like most other parts of Alabama, Montgomery’s climate varies with the seasons (as do most cities in the United States). In the summer it is generally hot, with temperatures averaging around 91 degrees, while in the winter temperatures rarely drop below 40 degrees. The city rarely is hit by any natural disasters, lying outside the boundaries for tornadoes and hurricanes.
