A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
The charming city of Gadsden rests along the banks of the Coosa River in northeast Alabama. In the 19th century, it functioned as a pivotal shipping center and economic hub for companies in the tire, rubber, and steel industries.
Rainbow City is situated 6 miles south of Gadsden, Alabama. The origin of the city’s name has been a subject of debate among locals for many years, with some attributing it to Rainbow Drive—a highway that traversed the city—while others assert it was named after the “Rainbow Division,” which was a component of the U.S. Infantry.
