Some Towns and Villages in
Alabama, USA
Alabama is one of the southern states of the USA. The capital is
Montgomery and the largest city - by population - Birmingham. The north of
the state is mainly mountainous, the south flatter, descending towards the
Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico where Alabama has its seaport, Mobile
(pronounced "Mobeel").
This page contains postcards of towns and villages in the state for which we
have as yet insufficient images to justify a separate page.
