Alabama Realtor ListingsOften called the Heart of Dixie, Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819. Alabama is the 30th largest state in the USA, covering more than 52,423 square miles of land. Alabama seceded from the Union, on January 1861, and on February 4, delegates from six states met at Montgomery and formed the Confederate States of America, with Montgomery as the capital. The name Alabama comes from an Indian word meaning "thicket clearers." As of 2000, the population of the state was 4,447,100 making Alabama the 23rd most populous state in the USA. Agriculture accounts for much of the industry in Alabama, with cotton, corn, peanuts, soybeans, poultry, and livestock being the state's main commodities.
