History & History Related Items

Tuscaloosa history:

Tuscaloosa is known as the Druid City because of its abundance of old oaks and hardwoods. This nickname was given during Civil War times.

Because of the Black Warrior River, many Indian trails came together here. This point was the southern-most spot on the river which could be consistently forded during most of the year. This same network of trails also brought white settlers to the area. After the War of 1812, the number of settlers increased greatly. The settlement of cabins which rose up here was named for the great chief, Black Warrior who met up with explorer, Hernando DeSoto, centuries before. The name, Tuscaloosa is from the Choctaw words, tushka, which means warrior and lusa, which means black. Tuscaloosa was incorporated on 13 December 1819 as part of Alabama territory. This was just one day before Alabama was admitted to the Union as a state, making Tuscaloosa one day older than the State of Alabama. Tuscaloosa was named the state capital in 1826 and served as such until 1846. The University of Alabama was established in Tuscaloosa in 1831. Both the status as the state capital and the establishment of the University in Tuscaloosa helped the city to grow larger. By 1845, the population was 4,250. When the capital was removed to Montgomery in 1846, the population began to fall. By 1850, the population was just 1,950. During this decade the Bryce State Hospital for the insane was opened in Tuscaloosa helping to compensate for the loss of the capital. Many men from Tuscaloosa served in the Civil War, around 3,500. The University was burned during the last part of the war effort with only four of the original buildings remaining.
