Homewood, Residential city in Jefferson County, Alabama.

Homewood spans across 8.31 square miles of land in southeastern Jefferson County, featuring parks, shopping areas, and educational institutions at 203 meters elevation.

The city incorporated in 1926 through the merger of three communities - Rosedale, Edgewood, and Grove Park - following a movement led by attorney Charles Rice.

The Hollywood Historic District displays Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture throughout its residential neighborhoods and municipal structures.

The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority maintains regular bus connections between Homewood and the surrounding metropolitan areas through Max Transit service.

The city expanded significantly during World War II as Birmingham industries increased production, leading to a 74 percent population growth between 1940 and 1950.
