Fultondale is a city in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States and a northern suburb of Birmingham. As of the 2010 census, the population of the city is 8,380. ==History== Fulton was a mining town in the 1900s. Fulton was incorporated in 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History )〕 The town's name is derived from the combination of the names of two nearby communities, Fulton Springs and Glendale.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Fultondale, Alabama, AL )〕 This area was once known as Fulton Springs. Prior to the building of Interstate 65, US 31 was the main route for travelers northbound from Birmingham towards Nashville, Tennessee. As a result, hotels such as the Keystone Lodge and Buchmann Motor Inn prospered. On the city's southern edge was located one of the few drive-in theatres in the Birmingham area (the "Skyview") This was torn down when I-65 was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Pine Bowl bowling alley is still a long time fixture in the city.Traces of the old routing of US 31 are still noticeable in the city. From just south of the city hall to an old bridge on this city's northern side, most of this old routing is known as Stouts Road or in some case simply "old US 31."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History )〕 Fultondale was a relatively stagnant community until the last decade. Growth has occurred in residential areas mainly west of Interstate 65, while retail development has focused along and near the I-65/Walkers Chapel Road exit. Fultondale passed a smoke-free ordinance on July 11, 2011 which is believed to be the strictest ban on smoking in Alabama. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fultondale, Alabama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
