About Birmingham

Birmingham is located in the north-central part of the state of Alabama and lies near the plateau of the Appalachian Mountains. It is also the county seat of Jefferson County, the most populous county in Alabama.

The Birmingham metropolitan statistical area, also known as Greater Birmingham, is the largest MSA in Alabama and the 50th most populous in the United States, with a population of about 1.12 million people. It consists of six counties (Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, St. Clair, and Shelby) centered in Birmingham. Among the cities in Greater Birmingham are Bessemer, Homewood, Irondale, and Fairfield.

Birmingham was named after Birmingham, England, a major industrial city in the United Kingdom. The Magic City, so called because of the rapid growth rates it experienced during the industrial age, emerged as an iron and steel production giant in the Southern part of the United States.

The manufacturing industry in Birmingham still thrives today, but other industries, such as banking, construction, telecommunications, and healthcare have gained prominence as a result of diversification. Birmingham is also home to one Fortune 500 company, Regions Financial, as well as five other Fortune 1000 companies, contributing significantly to the city’s economic growth.

The city has a strong housing market, with prices rising steadily over the past decade. The local job market is also strong and expected to grow, leading to an increase in demand for housing.
