Located in the northeastern section of Alabama, Gadsden is the county seat of Etowah County and is the most populated city therein. In the city’s early history, it was once one of Alabama’s top trading cities and had an incredibly busy port.
Large ships coming downriver from Mobile’s seaports would drop their shipments in Gadsden where they were then broken down into smaller shipments and distributed throughout the midwest via the Coosa River.
Unfortunately, the city was hit hard during the deindustrialization era, which caused a sharp decline in Gadsden’s population and hit its economy hard. Although the city once had a population of almost 56,000, it has been steadily declining since 1970. Today, only around 35,000 people remain in Gadsden.
