Historic Map - Tuskaloosa, AL - 1887
Description
Perspective map of Tuskaloosa, Ala. county seat of Tuskaloosa, Co. 1887. H. Wellge, Beck & Pauli Lith. Co.
Reproduction panorama map of Tuscaloosa, Alabama drawn and published by Henry Wellge & Co. in 1887. Tuscaloosa was incorporated in 1819, just one day before Congress admitted Alabama to the Union. It was named for the famous local warrior Chief Tuskaloosa. From 1826 to 1846 Tuscaloosa was Alabama's state capital. It was during this time that the University of Alabama was established. The town prospered, as the capital of Alabama until the capital was moved to Montgomery and Tuscaloosa's economy slipped, then turned around again in the 1850s with the founding of the Bryce State Hospital. During the Civil War, Alabama seceded from the Union and thousands of Tuscaloosa men fought for the Confederacy. Toward the end of the war, Union troops raided Tuscaloosa, damaging the town and burning the university campus. In the next decade Tuscaloosa would be connected to Mobile and the Gulf coast with a system of locks and dams on the Black Warrior River built by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.
