Montgomery is the capital of the U.S. state of Alabama and is the county seat of Montgomery County. Named for Richard Montgomery, it is located on the Alabama River, in the Gulf Coastal Plain. As of the 2010 Census, Montgomery had a population of 205,764. It is the second-largest city in Alabama, after Birmingham, and the 103rd largest in the United States. The Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area had a 2010 estimated population of 374,536. It is the fourth-largest in the state and 136th among United States metropolitan areas.
The city was incorporated in 1819, as a merger of two towns situated along the Alabama River. It became the state capital in 1846, representing the shift of power to the south-central area with the growth of cotton as a commodity crop of the Black Belt and Mobile's rise as a mercantile port. In February 1861, Montgomery was selected as the first capital of the Confederate States of America, until the seat of government moved to Richmond, Virginia, in May of that year. During the mid-20th century, Montgomery was a major site of events in the African-American Civil Rights Movement, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma to Montgomery marches.
In addition to housing many Alabama government agencies, Montgomery has a large military presence due to Maxwell Air Force Base; public universities Alabama State University, Troy University (Montgomery campus), and Auburn University at Montgomery; private colleges/universities Faulkner University and Huntingdon College; high-tech manufacturing, including Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama; and cultural attractions such as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
Two ships of the United States Navy have been named after the city, including USS Montgomery (LCS-8).
Montgomery has won several national awards including being voted Best Historic City by USA Today, being named an All-America City in 2014 by the National Civic League, being named a "Top City For Job Growth" in 2014 by ziprecruiter.com, and being named the happiest city in Alabama. Montgomery has also been recognized nationally for its successful, and ongoing downtown revitalization and new urbanism projects with Montgomery having been one of the first cities in the nation to implement Smart Code Zoning.

the weather is crazy. when it rains it can do some hailing where the ice so big if feel like it's busting out your windshield. The thundering is vicious sound like it's coming through your living room ceiling and the lightening is flashy. Summers is so hot the heat sticks to you along with mosquitoes, June bugs and flying cockroaches. the sun can be out beaming one second the next it's raining like cats and dogs. The fall and spring is very nice and colorful.
As Governor, George Wallace served at the statehouse in Montgomery, Alabama, in the 1960s before he died. He always discriminated against and segregated black people.
Nice look at Montgomery, Alabama. Seems like a cool city. I could enjoy a visit there.
Nice video. Thanks for posting it. Every place has its problems. It is a nice looking downtown. Reading the comments regarding crime in the Southeast below brings a few thoughts to mind. People like their guns down South. They're not afraid to use them. You can get way more house for your money in the South with acreage to boot. No place is perfect, but don't knock it until you've visited or lived there.
My Grandma was from here. R.I.P. Granny
Born and Bred in Montgomery. I've lived in other towns throughout my twenties: Atlanta, Orlando, Huntsville, and Savannah, but I still ended up back home. I'm happy I did at this point in life. Thanks for showing our beautiful city.
so clean city whole usa no traffic no jam I love usa forever 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Good Lordy What a long light,born and raised there but moved away to another state fifty years ago couldn’t get my bearings till I saw the fountain...thanks for the memories!
I live here and it’s alright but there is nothing to do especially in downtown. But the fair is coming up so I’m excited 😁
You passed the Dexter Ave Baptist church at the last light before the Capital. Dr King was the pastor there when I was a boy. I remember the day that Miss Rosa refused to give up her seat on the bus. My mother took the bus to work, so the bus boycott really caused a problem for her. I have lived in New York since 1963, but I miss Montgomery even though it is the most boring place on the planet.
Sweet home Alabama :)
