Madison’s motto is: “Play hard, learn well & live richly”. Madison is bordered by Huntsville on nearly all sides with minor unincorporated Madison county and Limestone pockets.
Madison was mostly a small city for many years until the creation of Redstone Arsenal, which brought many people to the area and rapidly increased Madison’s population.
Madison’s economic growth has increased to the point that Madison is the second largest city north of the Tennessee river only behind neighboring Huntsville. Madison is a suburb of Huntsville.
Within the city limits, most of Madison’s businesses are retail, with stores and fast-food restaurants lining US 72 to the north and Madison Boulevard to the south.
As a U.S. high-tech area city, Madison has become a magnet for entrepreneurs who cherish high-tech startups. By offering local personal and business support services, online shopping, construction, and repair service options, Madison’s economy promises to continue to experience growth.
