Hoover, Alabama - Suburban Growth South of Birmingham
Hoover incorporated in 1967 and grew rapidly as Birmingham's southern suburbs expanded along U.S. Route 31 and Interstate 459. The city takes its name from William H. Hoover, an insurance executive who donated land for its first city hall. With a population near 85,000, Hoover is now the sixth-largest city in Alabama and one of the wealthiest municipalities in the state by median household income.
The Riverchase Galleria, which opened in 1986, was for years the largest enclosed shopping mall in Alabama. It still serves as a commercial anchor for the area, though it has lost some tenants to newer retail developments. Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, later renamed Regions Field before the team moved to downtown Birmingham, once hosted the Birmingham Barons minor league baseball team. The city invested heavily in parks and recreation, including the Hoover Met Complex and the Finley Center, a multipurpose sports and events facility.
Hoover's public schools rank among the top performers in the state. Spain Park and Hoover High School both consistently appear in statewide and national rankings. Many residents commute to jobs in Birmingham, UAB, or the surrounding corporate offices along the I-65 corridor. Hotels in the Hoover area serve business travelers and are sometimes used for companion meetings. Providers active in the greater Birmingham metro area are listed in the Escortservice.com directory.
