For almost 200 years, steamboat whistles have filled the air as ships sail through the rippling waters of the Black Warrior River towards the banks of Tuscaloosa. With the rise of the cotton and bourbon trade in the 1800s, the port created a center of industry and culture unlike any other. Commerce boomed as the city transformed into one of the country’s major crossroads, attracting residents and merchants from all walks of life. When the University of Alabama was founded in 1831, a lively tradition of education, service and athletics began that still thrives today. Any local will tell you that Tuscaloosa is a historic place of connection with a character all its own.
