Known as "The Gateway to Happy Living," the city of Trussville (Population: 17 thousand plus) was named for the Truss Family who emigrated from North Carolina in the early 1820's. Trussville was incorporated in 1947. The present city hall was constructed in 1959 on land patented in 1821 by Warren Truss.
The community developed around a steel furnace built in the 1800's, and later took seed in the Cahaba Project, a WPA funded housing development built in the 1930's.
Trussville is ranked as number 56 out of 100 in Money Magazine's Best Places to Live 2005.
