Alabama, sometimes referred to as the Cotton State, is preferable known as the Yellowhammer State.  Although it is still among the leading cotton states, it is building for future prosperity upon a broader foundation of diversified agriculture and industry.  The state may well look back to the romance and color of the days when "cotton was king," but today Alabama not only grows many other crops but also ranks high among the mineral-producing states.  Upon the products of its agriculture, forestry, and mining are built great manufacturing enterprises.  Another natural resource, the rivers, is utilized for transportation and power.  Alabama is said by some authorities to the Creek Indian word for here we rest, or place of rest, but it is probably another form of Alibamu, the name of a tribe of Creek Indains who once inhabited part of the state.
