Gadsden - city in and the county seat of Etowah County in the U.S. state of Alabama

Gadsden is a city in the Appalachian foothills of Alabama.

Understand

Gadsden was settled in the early 1800s. It has prospered over the years through riverboat commerce, steel production, railways, and agriculture. Though the industry slumped in the late 1980s, and then moreso with the departure of Goodyear, the city was awarded the All-America City Award in 1991 for tackling community-wide challenges. The population in 2019 was about 35,000.
