座落于白人拓荒者与美洲印地安人之间及内战时的南北交接处。阿拉巴马也是第一间太空夏令营的本部 (美国境内共有三大太空夏令营) 。这些夏令营能让孩子体会身在外太空大概会是怎么样的感受。阿拉巴马的首都是蒙哥马利 (Montgomery) ，而它的州花是山茶花。
Known as the Heart of Dixie, Alabama became the 22nd state in 1819. The name Alabama is derived from an Indian word meaning "thicket clearers." Alabama has been at the center of many American battles--between white settlers and Native Americans, and between the North and South in the Civil War. The state also is home to the first of three Space Camps in the United States. These camps let kids experience what it would be like to be in outer space. The capital is Montgomery, and state flower is the camellia.
