Discover Montgomery, AL ADT Monitored Security from SafeStreets

Montgomery is known as the second largest city in Alabama, and it's also a historic American city with deep culture and traditions that continue through to this day. The city is situated in a wetter region, and any local will tell you you'll need to be prepared for flooding season. Really prepared. Luckily, ADT has your back with smart flood sensors, helping you ensure your property can handle even the rainiest of wet summers.

But don't worry—this city is more than a bit of bad weather. Leading up to the Civil War in the United States, Montgomery was chosen as the first capital of the Confederate States of America before being changed to Richmond, VA, some months later. Today, Montgomery is considered an integral point for the modern civil rights movement that took place during the mid-20th century. Key historical events like the arrest of Rosa Parks, the subsequent Montgomery Bus Boycott organized by Martin Luther King Jr., and later the march to Montgomery (organized to protest discriminatory voter laws instituted by Governor George Wallace) have since earned Montgomery the nickname the Birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement.

Today, Montgomery is a cultural center in Alabama. The Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park is a vast space that houses the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts and plays host to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival every year. Music legends Nat King Cole and Hank Williams both had roots in Montgomery, and the local Hank Williams Museum still holds the largest collection of Williams memorabilia.
