If you had been renting an apartment in Wetumpka, Alabama, 80 million years ago, you would surely have been quite startled when a 1,000-foot wide meteorite crashed to earth just east of the downtown area. The 4.7-mile-wide impact rim is still visible, and in 2002, Auburn University researchers confirmed the site as an internationally recognized impact crater.
Today, Wetumpka, an Indian word meaning "rumbling waters," is a fast-growing city in central Alabama, about 10 miles north of the state capital of Montgomery. Wetumpka covers just over eight square miles and is home to 6,500 residents (according to the 2010 census). Located at the spot where the southern foothills of the Appalachian Mountains meet the Gulf Coastal plain, Wetumpka is known as "The City of Natural Beauty." Settled in the 1700s, its location on the banks of the Coosa River helped it to prosper as a trading center. Today, the River is used year round for recreation, sporting events, and festivals.
