The Alabama Territory was created in 1817 and Alabama's population increased sufficiently that U.S. President Monroe signed the enabling act for statehood on March 2, 1819. Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819. Alabama has an abundant collection of museums to learn the story of the state and its people.
