Montgomery: States
built 606 days ago
Soon after Montgomery and Alabama had been founded, Montgomery became a central stagecoach station and link to the railroad leading from New York to New Orleans. It was ... a prominent steamboat port along the Alabama River and was known for producing cotton. Montgomery was not the first capital of Alabama; it was actually the fifth. The territorial capital of Alabama was St. Stephens, on the Tombigbee River. The state capital was temporarily located in Huntsville after Alabama's incorporation in 1819 but was transferred to Cahawba in 1820. Cahawba was considered a less-than-ideal location because of periodic flooding and was abandoned by 1826, and the state capital was moved to Tuscaloosa.

In 1846, the capital was permenantly located at Montgomery, the legislature likely finding it an ideal location from which to run the state, due to adequate amenities and travel.
