Birmingham is a city in the north central region of the state of Alabama. Birmingham has a very diversified economy including major businesses and industries.
Birmingham was named after Birmingham in Warwickshire, England, one of the United Kingdom’s major industrial cities. Most of the original settlers who founded Birmingham were of English ancestry.
