Alabama City is a former city, now a District in Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama

Below: The Emma Sanson Statue in downtown Gadsden was erected in 1906 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to honor her assisting Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. In 2020, there were calls to remove this monument due to its Confederate association, but it was still here in 2026 when Lee Duquette drove past it.

It is a granite monument with names of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty and was unveiled in May 1998 at Noccalula Falls Park but now sits on the grounds of the Etowah County Courthouse on South 8th Street side. The creation of the Law Enforcement Memorial board was founded in 1999 by officers and family members of slain officers.
