Alabama began to be settled by European Americans in the early 19th century, with significant migration occurring after the War of 1812. The area was officially organized as a U.S. territory in 1817 and became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819. The settlement was influenced by the availability of fertile land and the expansion of cotton agriculture.
