Montgomery Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Overview

Montgomery is the second largest city in Alabama and a great location to explore both African American culture and Civil Rights history.

Scott Fitzgerald. Other previous residents of note include Hank Williams, Tallulah Bankhead and Nat King Cole. It was also from downtown Montgomery that Jefferson Davis telegraphed his order to "Fire on Fort Sumter," which began the Civil War.
