About Madison
One of the fastest growing cities in the Southeast, Madison offers enduring small-town hospitality despite its ever-changing demographics. The city's roots reach back to 1818, when John Cartwright received a land grant for an area called Madison Station in the Tennessee River Valley. It took several years and the introduction of the Memphis-Charleston railroad for settlement to take root, but by 1869 the city was officially incorporated. Today's Madison offers a mix of historical and modern perspectives. On one hand, an old-fashioned but thriving downtown is flanked by century-old hardwood trees; on the other, an ever-evolving cosmopolitan sense and a building boom result in some 600 new home permits each year. Adding to Madison's appeal is its high-tech bigger brother, Huntsville, just a short drive east on I-565.

This is also home to "space camp," where kids of all ages (even grown-up ones) can experience g-forces, weightlessness and simulated space missions.
