Alabama introduced the Mardi Gras to the western world. The celebration is held on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent begins.
The state is known for its iron and steel natural resources, Southern hospitality, sweet tea, and football—especially the fierce rivalry between the Tigers and the Crimson Tide
The name “Alabama” comes from a combination of two Choctaw words: “Alba,” meaning vegetation or plants and “Amo,” meaning gatherer or picker. The Alabama Indians cleared and farmed the land, so “vegetation gatherers” is an accurate description of the tribe.
In 1836, Alabama became the first state to recognize Christmas as an official holiday. It was also the first state in the nation to celebrate Veteran's Day, with the first Veteran's Day Parade taking place in Birmingham, Alabama in 1947.
