Place description

Tuscaloosa is located in west-central Alabama and is also the American state&rsquo;s fifth largest city. The city was originally called &lsquo;Tuskaloosa&rsquo; and it was only in the 20th century that the spelling changed. The city was incorporated in the year 1819. Named after Tuskaloosa, chief of a Muskogean tribe, the city also served briefly as Alabama&rsquo;s capital.

Also known as the &lsquo;Druid City&rsquo;, the city owes this name to the several water oaks that were planted in downtown Tuscaloosa in the 1840s. Today, the city is Alabama&#39;s regional centre for education, industry, healthcare and commerce.
