(PRWEB) May 6, 2005 --Alabama was once a region claimed by the Spaniards as part of Florida. The English also tried to claim it as part of the province of Carolina. However, when the French took over Louisiana they also took over some of the surrounding territory including Alabama. Later when the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase and the Mississippi Territory, there was much controversy as to whether or not Alabama was included. But luckily, Alabama became the 22nd state in 1819.

Alabama is the 30th largest state in the United States with 52,419 square miles of total area. 3.2% of that is water, making Alabama 23rd in the amount of surface water.

Almost three-fifths of the land cover is a gentle plain with a slight incline towards the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.
