But did you know that besides the famous rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and Nasa's big influence, Huntsville is known for other things too? Huntsville is named after Revolutionary War veteran John Hunt, the first settler of the land around the Big Spring. We have many notable citizens past and present along with unsung heros who worked to make Huntsville what it is today. Just recently we were in the news again for being "The New Federal City" Check out Wikipedia on everything Huntsville for more.
There is a rich history here of people who worked the earth to people who reached for the moon. When I first started out as a Realtor in Huntsville, I had "From Cotton to Rockets" on my business cards. It seemed fitting for our diverse city. Our community is a mix of people that have lived here all their lives, and people like me, transplanted here from all over the world.
Huntsville is thriving, our housing market may have taken a little hit when the bubble burst a few years ago, but the market is holding it's own now and like Antoine Dodson says
"What people fail to realize is, we don't run around crying acting sad. We dust our shoulders off and keep on moving."
