Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa’s mood ranges . . .

• From contemplative – quiet fishing or boating on its many creeks, lakes, and rivers – to loud and boisterous – like the Crimson Tide football match-ups with other SEC teams in Bryant-Denny Stadium on The University of Alabama campus.

Tuscaloosa values . . .

• Its people. Tuscaloosa’s 80,000 diverse residents make up nearly half of the population of the county; the city is Alabama’s fifth largest. Because of the people’s commitment to the community, it has been awarded the All American City designation by the National Civic League and has been on Money Magazine’s annual list of one of the country’s best places to live.
   
• Its nearly 500 year-old history when it was the center of life for Native Americans, and its 190 years of incorporated history, beginning in 1819. Moundville State Park, administered by The University of Alabama, records its ancient history, and antebellum homes and other historic attractions reveal its rich traditions.
   
• Its geographical location, which makes it a southeastern hub with spokes to cities and areas from Nashville to Memphis to New Orleans and around to the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coasts up to Atlanta and sites in the Smokies.
   
• Its diverse business base, which ranges from locals, such as the well-known Dreamland BBQ, to international companies including Mercedes Benz U.S. International, JVC America, Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Manufacturing, and homegrown Phifer Wire Products and Westervelt Corporation. Forbes Magazine consistently ranks Tuscaloosa as one of the nation’s best places to begin or grow a business.
   
• Its diverse educational base, from K-12 to higher education, including the largest employer, The University of Alabama; Stillman College, an historically black college and ranked in U.S. News and World Report’s Best Colleges 2008; and Shelton State Community College. A variety of K-12 public and private schools and academies are available.
   
• Its healthcare base. The centerpiece of healthcare facilities is the DCH Health System, which operates the DCH Regional Medical Center, Alabama’s fifth largest hospital, and the Northport Medical Center. The VA Medical Center provides primary and secondary care and a wide range of psychiatric care. The University of Alabama’s University Medical Center in the College of Community Health Sciences offers medical care to all Tuscaloosa residents.
