Muscle Shoals is the largest city in Colbert County, Alabama, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population of Muscle Shoals was 13,146.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Muscle Shoals city, Alabama )〕 The estimated population in 2014 was 13,614.〔
Both the city and the Florence-Muscle Shoals Metropolitan Area (including four cities in Colbert and Lauderdale counties) are commonly called "the Shoals". Northwest Alabama Regional Airport serves the Shoals region, located in the northwest section of the state.
Since the 1960s the city has been known for the "Muscle Shoals Sound", as local recording studios: FAME Studios in the late 1950s and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1969, produced hit records that shaped the history of popular music.
==Etymology==
There are a few explanations on how the city got its name. Some say the city gets its name from a former natural feature of the Tennessee River, namely a shallow zone where mussels were gathered. When the area was first settled, the distinct spelling "mussel" to refer to a shellfish had not yet been fully adopted. Others say that the name comes from the bend of the Tennessee River around the area which shape looks like someone flexing an arm muscle.
