Known for its rich deposits of iron ore, limestone and coal, (all of which are used to make steel) it was only logical that Birmingham would become a major center of industry. The pioneer farm settlement of the mid-1850s expanded with the advent of railroads and influence of land barons that helped establish Birmingham as a city. The City was founded in 1871, when the Elyton Land Company sold lots at the junction of two railroad lines. This metropolitan area has undergone dramatic transformation in recent years and this vibrant and cosmopolitan City offers something for everybody. Birmingham is a big city with a small town atmosphere.
