Known as the Yellowhammer State, Alabama is home to stories as diverse as its landscape and population.  From its northern mountains to southern coastal ports, rural farmland, college towns and urban centers, Alabama is firmly rooted in the Deep South.  Descendants of white settlers, native peoples, African slaves and other ethnic groups have left behind a broad tapestry of stories.
