Homewood: Samford University and the Edgewood Neighborhood
Homewood was incorporated in 1926 through the merger of three smaller villages, Edgewood, Rosedale, and Grove Park, on the southern slope of Red Mountain directly across from downtown Birmingham. The city sits in Jefferson County and covers about eight square miles, with a population of approximately 25,700. Its location places it closer to downtown Birmingham than nearly any other suburb, a geographic fact that has shaped its residential and commercial identity since the 1920s.
Samford University, a Baptist-affiliated private institution enrolling around 5,700 students, occupies a 247-acre campus off Lakeshore Drive. Founded in 1841 as Howard College and relocated to Homewood in 1957, Samford operates schools of law, pharmacy, business, and health professions. The university's Georgian-colonial architecture defines the western portion of the city.
The 18th Street commercial corridor in downtown Homewood functions as the city's main retail and dining street, lined with independent restaurants, small shops, and the historic Homewood Theatre. The SoHo Square development added mixed-use space adjacent to the old core. Homewood Park on Oxmoor Road provides public greenspace, and the city's school system operates independently from Jefferson County Schools and is widely ranked among the strongest in the state.
