With a population of just around 200,000, Montgomery is the capital city of Alabama. Named for Richard Montgomery a Revolutionary War general, it stands beside the Alabama River, on the coastal Plain of the Gulf of Mexico. 
In addition to housing the offices of many Alabama government agencies, Montgomery has a large military presence, due to nearby Maxwell Air Force Base. It also has public universities Alabama State University, Troy University, and Auburn University at Montgomery. There is modern high-tech manufacturing as well, including Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. Montgomery has a variety of cultural attractions, too, such as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
Prior to European colonization, the east bank of the Alabama River was inhabited by the Alibamu tribe of Native Americans. This is where the name of the state of Alabama comes from. Present-day Montgomery is built on the site of two Alibamu towns: Ikanatchati, meaning "red earth;" and Towassa, built on a bluff called Chunnaanaauga Chatty.

Geography & Climate

Downtown Montgomery lies along the southern bank of the Alabama River. Montgomery has been recognized nationally for its continuing downtown revitalization. In the early 2000s, the city constructed the Montgomery Biscuits minor league baseball stadium and Riverfront Park. Following those developments, hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested by private companies that have adapted old warehouses and office buildings into loft apartments, restaurants, retail, hotels, and businesses. The demand for downtown living space has risen, as people want to have walkable, lively neighborhoods.
Montgomery has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoon heat indices are frequently at or above 100 °F. The temperature variation tends to be large in spring and autumn. Rainfall is well-distributed throughout the year. Thunderstorms bring much of Montgomery's rainfall. These are common during the summer months but occur throughout the year.
