800 hundred years ago Moundville, Alabama was the largest city in Northamerica. The site, was occupied from around 1000 A.D. until 1450 A.D., is a large settlement of a Mississippian culture on the Black Warrior River in central Alabama.
Moundville was second in size and complexity after the site at Cahokia, in Illinois. It was at populous town, a political and religious center. Surrounding the central plaza, were twenty-six earthen mounds. At its height the Moundville community contained a population of about one thousand with around ten thousand in the entire valley.
The precise ethnic and linguistic links between Moundville's inhabitants and what became later the historic Native American tribes, are still not well understood.
