Tuscaloosa served as the state's capital from 1826 to 1846 and has been home to the University of Alabama since 1831. Tuscaloosa was known as The Oak City and The Druid City (after an ancient Celtic people who worshipped oaks) in its early years because huge water oak trees lined the downtown streets. The city of Tuscaloosa is now the hub for West Alabama industry and commerce, anchored by the sprawling nearby Mercedes-Benz plant. Tuscaloosa has a mayor-council form of government.
The area now known as Tuscaloosa County was discovered in 1540 by troops of Hernando DeSoto. The name Tuscaloosa is derived from the Choctaw Indian Chief Tushkauloosa, which, literally translated, means Black Warrior.
