About Madison
One of the fastest growing cities in the Southeast, Madison offers enduring small-town hospitality despite its ever-changing demographics. The city's roots reach back to 1818, when John Cartwright received a land grant for an area called Madison Station in the Tennessee River Valley. It took several years and the introduction of the Memphis-Charleston railroad for settlement to take root, but by 1869 the city was officially incorporated. Today's Madison offers a mix of historical and modern perspectives. On one hand, an old-fashioned but thriving downtown is flanked by century-old hardwood trees; on the other, an ever-evolving cosmopolitan sense and a building boom result in some 600 new home permits each year. Adding to Madison's appeal is its high-tech bigger brother, Huntsville, just a short drive east on I-565.
Did you know?
Like so many other communities, Madison was not immune to the terrible reach of the Civil War. On May 17, 1864, Union troops attempted to disrupt the supply line between Alabama and Georgia by taking over the railroad at Madison Station. The resulting skirmish cost 20 people their lives, and the Federal forces controlled the station until the war's end.
