It is also known as "the Druid City" because of the numerous water oaks planted in its downtown streets since the 1840s.Incorporated on December 13, 1819, it was named after Tuskaloosa, the chief of a band of Muskogean-speaking people defeated by the forces of Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1540 in the Battle of Mabila, in what is now central Alabama.
