In the foothills of the Cumberland mountains, in a beautiful green valley, nestled in a bend of the Tennessee River, John Hunt first brought his family to settle near a large spring in an community that would later become known as Huntsville, Alabama.

Since its incorporation in 1811, Huntsville has been a pacesetter for the state of Alabama, as shown by the large number of "firsts", including the state's first newspaper, library, school, Protestant church and bank. Huntsville also served as the first state capital as well.

This unique spirit of innovation has been a major factor in the establishment of Huntsville as a leader in education and culture, and has helped make it a flourishing business center as well.

In the beginning of Huntsville's history, agriculture was the primary business of the area. At that time, Cotton was "King." Huntsville and Madison County became the largest cotton growing area in the south. While North Alabama still grows a lot of cotton, its biggest cash crop has changed from cotton to technology.

In 1941 the army announced that they were establishing a chemical weapons manufacturing facility on 40,000 acres. This land was located in the southwest corner of Madison County. In 1949, the U. S. Army brought a team of German rocket scientists into the facility to organize the U. S. military's Ordnance Guided Missile Center. The leader of this group was the famed "space flight visionary" - Dr. Wernher von Braun. From that time, the growth of the area has never slowed down.

The rest, so they say . . . . . is history.
