 The State of Alabama, known as the "Heart of Dixie" and the "Cotton State", doesn't have an official nickname. Alabama joined the Union on December 14, 1819 as the 22nd state and was part of the Confederacy in the Civil War.
The name Alabama comes from a Native American tribe that lived in the region. Located in the East South Central Region, Alabama is bordered on the north by Tennessee, the east by Georgia, the south by Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and the east by Mississippi.
