Birmingham was once an industrial city known for its iron and steel production. It was also known for manufacturing rails and railroad cars. Although iron and steel production ceased in the 1970s, the 1882 blast furnaces representing Birmingham as an industrial city still remain. The Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark is now a museum and a 32-acre park, and it is the only national historic landmark featuring blast furnaces.
