Brookwood, Alabama: Humble Mining Town Beginnings
Originally established as a mining town in the late 1800s, Brookwood has a rich history rooted in the coal industry. From the early days of the Horsehead mining community to its ongoing partnerships with Warrior Met Coal and suppliers serving Mercedes-Benz, Brookwood has continued to grow while honoring its heritage. Today, the town offers a strong sense of community along with opportunities for business, employment and economic growth.
The town’s proximity to the Black Warrior River, which runs through Tuscaloosa County, allows residents and visitors to enjoy picnicking, fishing, boating or simply relaxing by the water at Rocky Branch Park or Bankhead Park. Located in town, City Park is a local gathering place, featuring playgrounds, baseball, softball and football fields, tennis, pickleball and sand volleyball courts. It’s a great place for all ages to come together and enjoy the outdoors.
