Montgomery is a city located in Montgomery County, Alabama. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 201,568. It is the capital of Alabama, a state of the United States of America. It is the county seat of Montgomery County.

Montgomery was named for General Richard Montgomery, who died in the American Revolutionary War attempting to capture Quebec, Canada. It was the first capital of the Confederate States of America. It is located on the north portion of the Alabama River.

Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. gained national attention for civil rights issues during his tenure as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, 2 blocks from the State Capitol Building. A civil rights memorial has been erected near the still-active church. In 1955, Rosa Parks became a civil rights heroine in the city by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. The reaction to this arrest led to the Montgomery bus boycott which eventually forced the city to desegragate its transit system. In 1965, Dr. King's nationally-publicized march for justice was conducted from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery.
