Tuscaloosa County, Administrative division in western Alabama, United States.
Tuscaloosa County is an administrative area in western Alabama where the Black Warrior River flows through the landscape and oak trees line the neighborhoods. The territory includes the city of Tuscaloosa along with surrounding communities, forests, and open spaces.
The county took its name from Chief Tuskaloosa and served as Alabama's state capital from 1826 to 1846. This period marked an important moment in the state's political development and urban growth.
The University of Alabama shapes local life through its academic presence and strong connection to college sports traditions. The institution influences how people spend their time and how the region sees itself.
The county offers parks, boat landings, activity centers, and a golf course managed by the Parks and Recreation Authority. Visitors can explore these spaces for outdoor activities and recreation throughout the year.
Mercedes-Benz built its first North American assembly plant here in 1993, bringing major manufacturing to the region. The facility became one of the area's largest employers and remains a key part of the local economy.
