ONLINE VACATION
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, USA
5/09/14
Hi Everyone. Our trip today is to Montgomery, Alabama, USA. It is
the capital of the state of Alabama.
Montgomery is the capital of the state of Alabama, and is the county
seat of Montgomery County. It was named for Richard Montgomery, and is
located on the Alabama River, in the Gulf Coastal Plain. As of the
2010 Census, Montgomery had a population of 205,764.
The city was incorporated in 1819, as a merger of two towns situated
along the Alabama River. It became the state capital in 1846,
representing the shift of power to the south-central area with the
growth of cotton as a commodity crop.
In addition to housing many Alabama government agencies, Montgomery has
a large military presence due to Maxwell Air Force Base. They are
home to many public and private universities. One of their high
tech manufacturing is the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing. They have
cultural attractions such as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
36 and 57 °F. July is normally the warmest month with average
temperatures between 72 and 92 °F. March tends to be the rainiest
month with an average of 5.94 inches, and a yearly average of 52.93
inches of rain.
Snowfall occurs only during some winters, and even then is usually light.
Substantial snowstorms are rare, but do occur approximately once every
10 years. The lowest recorded temperature was -5 °F on February 13,
1899. The highest recorded temperature was 107 °F on July 7, 1881.
I hope you enjoy this trip to Montgomery, Alabama.
