The area of Jefferson County is one that is definitely a classic story of the south, starting with how was begun and was named after Thomas Jefferson. The story, however, goes on and is all about how many of the most famous people from the area made their money in cotton, but also how they made their money by making steel, as this area is one of the only places in the nation where you can find not only limestone but coal and iron ore, all three of which are essential when it comes to making steel. This is what the area became known for as time went on, and what it is still often remembered for.

Now, even though this area is still well-known for being one that deals with steel, it is also one that is known for being a place where you can find a number of high-rise buildings, especially when you travel into the main county seat, Birmingham.
