Village Creek runs for 44 miles across the valley, flowing all the way through the heart of Birmingham. This beautiful stream was an attraction for settlers in the region in the early nineteenth century who were looking for fertile farmland. It is the inspiration for the Village Creek Greenway and flows through many of the area's urban parks.

Ensley

Highlight • Settlement

Founded as a separate city in 1887, Ensley merged with Birmingham in 1910. Tuxedo Junction, located at the confluence of the Wylam and Pratt City streetcar lines, flourished as a vibrant cultural and entertainment hub for the community. This iconic spot also inspired a popular song by Ensley native Erskine Hawkins, later made famous by Glenn Miller in 1939.
