Alabama (IPAc-enen-us-Alabama.ogg?�l??b�m?) is a state (U.S. state) located in the southeastern region (Southern United States) of the United States of America. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia (Georgia (U.S. state)) to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama ranks 30th in total land area and ranks second in the size of its inland waterways. The state ranks 23rd in population with almost 4.6 million residents in 2006.
From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many Southern states, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, white (White American) rural interests dominated the state legislature until the 1960s, while urban interests and African Americans were under-represented. Following World War II, Alabama experienced growth as the economy of the state transitioned from agriculture to diversified interests in heavy manufacturing, mineral extraction, education, and technology. In addition, the establishment or expansion of multiple military installations, primarily those of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, added to state jobs.
Alabama is unofficially nicknamed the Yellowhammer (Northern Flicker) State, after the state bird (List of U.S. state birds). Alabama is also known as the "Heart of Dixie (Dixie)". The state tree (List of U.S. state trees) is the Longleaf Pine, the state flower (List of U.S. state flowers) is the Camellia. The capital of Alabama is Montgomery (Montgomery, Alabama). The largest city by population is Birmingham (Birmingham, Alabama). The largest city by total land area is Huntsville (Huntsville, Alabama). The oldest city is Mobile (Mobile, Alabama), founded by French (French people) colonists.
