In this Episode of In the Stacks, we discuss how Montgomery became the permanent site of the Alabama State Capital. We begin by discussing how St. Stephens became the original home of the state capital before it briefly moved to Huntsville. We then examine the turbulent time it spent in the town of Cahaba that led to it being moved to Tuscaloosa and the politics that led to it finding a home in Montgomery.
