Huntsville, Alabama, The Rocket City
By Joyce Furstenau 		  
1     Caption: Rocket Park at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center
 
2     Huntsville is the fourth largest city in Alabama. Its nickname is "The Rocket City." Huntsville was once a quiet town with a population of a little over thirteen thousand. World War II and a space program changed all that for Huntsville.
 
3     John Hunt was the original first settler, but Huntsville was named Twickenham by LeRoy Pope, who purchased the land. Before the War of 1812, it was re-named Huntsville to honor its first settler, John Hunt.
