Tuscaloosa is located along the banks of the Black Warrior River and is the fifth largest city in Alabama. It is home to just over 100,000 residents. Tuscaloosa is also known as “Druid City” because of numerous water oak trees in its downtown streets. In recent years, Tuscaloosa has been named the "Most Livable City in America”, one of Americas "100 Best Communities for Young People”, and one of the "50 Best College Towns” in the United States. There are a number of activities available for visitors to Tuscaloosa and Alabama, including the not-to-be-missed Mississippian site of Moundville.
