About Alabama State Which Alabama city do you belong to?
The state of Alabama is located in the South of the US and is bordered by Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. It is the 30th biggest state in terms of land area and has the 23rd largest population in the country. Alabama is unofficially known as the Yellowhammer State and it shares this name with the state bird. The state tree is the Longleaf Pine and the Camellia is the state flower. Alabama's capital is Montgomery and the most populous city is Birmingham. Alabama suffered from a lot of economic hardship during the period between the American Civil War and the World War II due to a high level of dependence on agriculture. However, after the World War II, the economy recovered significantly as they moved from agriculture into mineral extraction, heavy manufacturing, technology and education. The state has a high level of investment in banking, education, aerospace and health care, as well as a number of heavy industries, which include steel production, automobile manufacturing, fabrication and mineral extraction.

Alabama State Song
"Alabama"

Written by Julia S. Tutwiler Composed by Edna Gockel Gussen.

Alabama, Alabama
We will aye be true to thee,
From thy Southern shores where groweth.

By the sea thy orange tree
To thy Northern vale where floweth,
Deep blue the Tennessee
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.

Broad thy stream whose name thou bearest,
Grand thy Bigbee rolls along
Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa,
Bold thy Warrior dark and strong.

Goodlier than the land that Moses
Climbed lone Nebb's Mount to see.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.

Brave and pure thy men and women,
Better this than corn and wine.
Make us worthy, God in Heaven
Of this goodly land of Thine.

Hearts as open as thy doorways.
Liberal hands and spirits free.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.

Little, little can I give thee,
Alabama, mother mine.
But that little - hand, brain, spirit.

All I have and am are thine.
Take, O take, the gift and giver.
Take and serve thyself with me.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee
