History and Hospitality

The ABC Wednesday meme is celebrating the letter "H" today, and HISTORY and HOSPITALITY were the first words that came to mind for Selma, Alabama.

"Come for the history; stay for the hospitality," is a promotional slogan for our town, and it's every bit sincere!

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
