Here is some Montgomery info from the wiki:

Montgomery is the capital and second most populous city in the Southern U.S. state of Alabama, and is the county seat of Montgomery County.[2] It is located southeast of the center of the state, in the Gulf Coastal Plain. The city population was 201,568 as of the 2000 census.[3] Montgomery is the primary city of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had a 2000 population of 346,528.[4]

The city was incorporated in 1819, as a merger of two towns situated along the Alabama River. It became the state capital in 1846. In February 1861, Montgomery was selected as the first capital of the Confederate States of America, until the seat of government moved to Richmond, Virginia in May of that year[5]. During the mid-20th century, Mongtomery was a primary site in the African-American Civil Rights Movement, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma to Montgomery marches[5].

Today, in addition to housing many Alabama government agencies, Montgomery has a large military presence due to Maxwell Air Force Base[6], public universities Alabama State University and Auburn University-Montgomery, high-tech manufacturing including Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama[7], and cultural attractions like the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.[8] Montgomery is also home to American Bar Association accreditated law school, Thomas Goode Jones School of Law of Faulkner University.
