Sylacauga, Industrial city in Talladega County, Alabama, United States.
Sylacauga extends across 20 square miles of land, positioned 40 miles southeast of Birmingham at the edge of Talladega National Forest.
The settlement emerged from a Creek Indian village named Chalakagay in 1748, receiving incorporation as Syllacoga in 1838 and later as Sylacauga in 1887.
The Isabel Anderson Comer Museum displays geological exhibits about local marble deposits and presents works by regional artists throughout the year.
The city maintains a network of 133 municipal employees across departments, including police officers, firefighters, and administrative personnel serving the local population.
On November 30, 1954, a meteorite penetrated through the roof of a house in Sylacauga and struck resident Ann Hodges, marking the first recorded space object impact on a person.
