Montgomery is the capital of the state of Alabama.

The local pronunciation of Montgomery is somewhat like 'Mung-guh-muh-ree.' Most people in the U.S. do not recognize the name 'Montgomery.'

It was formed in 1819 by the merger of two towns along the Alabama River and became the capital of the Confederacy just before the Civil War.

The eastern part of Montgomery can be considered a new city in Korean terms. Various department stores, restaurants, and large supermarkets are all located in the southeast.

As a result, housing prices in the area are somewhat high, and the school district is rumored to be relatively good, so most Koreans live around here.

Montgomery residents speak English with a strong Southern dialect and accent, making it difficult to understand what they are saying at first.

The population is 205,764, which ranks 114th among U.S. cities.

With a metropolitan area population of about 370,000, it ranks fourth in Alabama, lower than Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile.
