Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa County, one of the oldest counties in Alabama, is located in the West-Central portion of the state. Within its boundaries are the foothills of the Appalachians, fertile farmland and the Black Warrior River. The area was originally home to Native Americans, including the famed Chief Tuskaloosa from whom the county received its name. European encounters with the area began during DeSoto's explorations of the 1500s, but white settlement did not begin in large numbers until the early 1800s. Home to the 
University of Alabama and the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Tuscaloosa is a bustling university town. But it's also a town with a lovely historic district featuring the 1863 Antebellum gem, the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion, in addition to the 
Murphy African-American Museum, the outstanding Mimosa Golf Course, 
Moundville Archeological Park, the Children’s Hands-On Museum of Tuscaloosa, the Paul W. Bryant Museum, Lake Lurleen State Park, the Mercedes-Benz U.S. International with its fascinating, 24,000-square-foot visitor center, the Warner Westervelt Museum and much, much more.
