Founded in 1871, Birmingham the most populuous city in Alabama. It was named after its sister city in England which it was modeled after. Both cities build their economies on factories and the production of steel, and thrived in the Industrial age. Because of its rapid growth through the turn of the century, it was given the nick name "The Magic City". Today Birmingham still relies on manufacturing for its lifeblood but has branched out to other sectors, especially in the service industry, to support its citizens.
