Jefferson County was established on December
13, 1819 by the Alabama
legislature. It was named in honor of
Thomas Jefferson. The county is
located in the north-central
portion of the state, on the southern
extension of the
Appalachians, in the center of the iron, coal and limestone
belt of the
South. Jefferson County is bordered byBlount
County, Bibb
County,
St. Clair
County, Shelby
County,
Tuscaloosa
County,
and
Walker
County. It encompasses 1,119 square miles. The
county
seat was at Carrollsville from 1819-21, at Elyton from
1821-73, and since
1873 has been at Birmingham, which was named
for England's iron and
steel center in Warwickshire. - Wikipedia
