About Alabama
Alabama is one of the 50 states in the US, located in the southeastern United States between Mississippi and Georgia.
It borders Tennessee in the north along the 35th parallel north, and Florida in the south, a small lobe of Alabama’s southwestern land reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples had lived along the rivers in what is now Alabama. The first Europeans who visited the area were Spanish explorers in the mid 16th century.
A century and a half later, the country was colonized by settlers from France, who founded the first European settlement in Old Mobile (Fort Louis de La Louisiane).
The region became part of Britain in 1763 and passed to the US in 1783. On 14th December 1819, Alabama became the 22nd state to join the Union.
