Notes
  • Significance: Birmingham's beginnings date to 1871, when the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad (later the Alabama Great Southern) and the South & North Alabama Railroad (later the Louisville & Nashville Railroad) intersected in Jones Valley. The mountains created an engineering challenge for these first two trunk railroads. Their mineral resources provided a continued incentive for other railroads to follow. The railroads' presence, which required the construction of numerous bridges, trestles, and tunnels, is a testimony to the value of the Birmingham District's mineral and industrial wealth.
