Brookwood, Alabama: Humble Mining Town Beginnings
Originally developed as a mining town in the late 1800s, Brookwood has deep roots in the industry. From the early days of the Horsehead mining community to today’s active partnerships with Warrior Met Coal and Mercedes-Benz suppliers, Brookwood continues to offer opportunities for work, growth and business.
The town’s proximity to the Black Warrior River, running through Tuscaloosa County, provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation. Residents and visitors enjoy picnicking, fishing, boating and simply relaxing by the water at Rocky Branch Park or Bankhead Park. For history buffs and nature lovers alike, Tannehill Historical State Park is just a short drive away. City Park is a local gathering place, featuring playgrounds, baseball, softball and football fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and a sand volleyball court. It’s a great place for all ages to come together and enjoy the outdoors.
