Tuscaloosa is known as existing from the 1580s mainly occupied by Native Americans. The locals greatly suffered from the Creek War that left the city in ruins on the initiative of General Andrew Jackson. After this the Indians moved to the west of Tuscaloosa, but were forced off the land to the Indian Territory treading the well-known the 'Trail of Tears'. It was the position maintained by the local government and President Andrew Jackson in 1836.
According to the local politics the city of Tuscaloosa was incorporated on December 13, 1819 and laid out by designer Collin Finnell on the initiative of government. Eventually, the biggest part of the initial design suffered from tornado in 1840s, but the city gradually recovered and has evolved into a river port. Along with money from riverside exchanges came new structures decorating the cityscape. Thus, glossy state capitol building was designed by W.M. Nichols in 1826.
In addition, Tuscaloosa played a vital role for the regional government serving as the state capital until capital credentials moved to Montgomery in 1846. It was a loss for the city as half of its population reduced.
It means that today Tuscaloosa is welcoming to newcomers and tourists to the city. Before you go to this charming city you should consider booking a hotel at Booked.net.
