- Population rank
- 152 of 420

- State
- Alabama State
- Natural Earth marks this city as the capital of a first-level administrative unit; the state is the one whose boundary contains the city.
- Founded
- 1702
- Year of founding from Wikidata (P571). Only the year is known, not the day; a city whose sources give more than one year shows no row.

- Elevation above sea level from Wikidata (P2044), rounded to the metre. A city whose sources give two different elevations shows no row.
- Area
