Etowah

Etowah County, the state’s smallest county by size, became one of Alabama’s industrial centers as the result of the natural resources in the area. A major attraction in the county is Noccalula Falls, a 90-foot waterfall that is easily viewable from a city park in Gadsden, the county seat. There is also a trail to the base of the falls and activities, including a petting zoo, at the park. Also in Gadsden is the Etowah Heritage Museum, which is dedicated to the preservation and commemoration of local and Native American history, and a monument honoring a local Civil War legend, Emma Sansom.
