Vacation 2 USA > Alabama > Towns and Cities > Montgomery

Montgomery

Located in South central Alabama, Montgomery is the capital and second largest city of the state. As of the 2000 census, the city's population was 201,568.

Montgomery was briefly, in 1861, the capital of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. However, when Virginia seceded from the Union, the Confederacy moved their capital to Richmond.

Many important events in the civil rights movement took place in Montgomery. Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. was pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, from 1954 to 1960. Rosa Parks' refusal to give-up her bus-seat to a white man, also took place in Montgomery, and this led to the 382-day Montgomery Bus Boycott which eventually persuaded the city to desegregate its transit system.

Attractions in Montgomery include:

Montgomery Zoo

Perhaps the best-known professional sports team in Montgomery is the baseball team, the Montgomery Biscuits.

Product Description:
America's most populous region is also home to some of the nation's most serenely beautiful country. Tracing a gentle, thousand-mile curve from New York City southwestward to Montgomery, Alabama, the Piedmont connects an arc of urban centers which includes five state capitals, America's largest city, and the national capital. Between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Piedmont's rolling hills span miles of farmland and forest. Michael Godfrey's Field Guide to the Piedmont—originally published by Sierra Club Books and here newly revised and updated—is an informative and entertaining guide to the entire region's habitats, ecosystems, and rich botanical communities.

Focusing on plant succession, geology, soils, climate, and the plants and animals with which we share the land, Field Guide to the Piedmont also features 180 illustrations for easy identification of the Piedmont's principal flora and fauna. A chapter describing and providing directions to over fifty sites of special interest will inspire Piedmont residents to take this field guide in hand and explore their natural surroundings.
