Nicknamed the "Rocket City," Huntsville is an illustrious hub of progress and innovation nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of Northern Alabama. Having gained worldwide recognition during the Space Race of the 1960s, Huntsville is now known as a technological center of Alabama and the nation. Thanks to the high-tech and defense sectors, many of the region's residents hail from other parts of the country and the world, making Huntsville a more diverse community than other similarly sized metro areas in the Deep South.
