Tuscumbia, County seat in northwest Alabama, United States.
Tuscumbia stands in the Tennessee River Valley, surrounded by agricultural lands and connected by major transportation routes to neighboring cities.
The settlement began in 1815 as Big Spring Community, named after a natural water source where the Michael Dixon family established their first residence.
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia exhibits instruments, recordings, and memorabilia from musicians who shaped the state's musical heritage.
The regional airport in Muscle Shoals, located three miles east of Tuscumbia, provides air transportation services for the entire Tennessee Valley region.
The Tennessee River currents near Tuscumbia contained abundant mussel populations, leading early settlers to name the area Muscle Shoals.
