Northport Across the Black Warrior River from Tuscaloosa
Northport sits directly across the Black Warrior River from Tuscaloosa, connected by the Hugh Thomas Bridge and the M.L. King Jr. Boulevard crossing. The city lies in Tuscaloosa County and has roughly 24,800 residents. Founded in 1816 as a trading post under the name Kentuck, the community was renamed Northport in 1871. For much of the 19th century the river trade defined local commerce: cotton moved downstream to Mobile and goods came upstream to supply the surrounding counties.
The Kentuck Festival of the Arts, held the third weekend of October each year since 1971, draws over 250 folk artists, potters, and craftspeople to a two-day event in Kentuck Park. The festival grew out of a bicentennial celebration and has become one of the most established folk art gatherings in the Southeast. The associated Kentuck Art Center operates galleries and studios in downtown Northport year-round.
The proximity to the University of Alabama's main campus across the river shapes much of Northport's character. Thousands of students, faculty, and staff live in Northport, and football Saturdays during Crimson Tide home games bring significant traffic to both sides of the river. The city's commercial activity concentrates along McFarland Boulevard and U.S. Highway 82.
