Welcome to Huntsville - "Rocket City"
The high-tech city of Huntsville which sprawls at the foot of a mountain in North Alabama is equally at
home in the 19th century or the 21st. Huntsville's tourist attractions reflect the heritage of Alabama's
first English-speaking city, the strife of the American Civil War and the accomplishments of America's
rocket scientists.
The city is nicknamed "The Rocket City" for its close history with U.S. space missions.
Huntsville has been important in developing space technology since the 1950s.
Centrally located in the MidSouth, is easy to reach by car or air. It is less than a day's drive for a quarter of the nation's population.
City of Huntsville
aka Rocket City is one of the most recognized cities

City of Madison
is rich in history and character. Once called Madison

is now a cosmopolitan economic center for western Madison County - the
focal point of North Alabama's technology boom.
