Brookwood has its origins in the earliest part of the 20th century and was officially incorporated in 1977. In May of 2022, Governor Kay Ivey recognized Brookwood as a city after population growth exceeded 2500 proving that Brookwood truly is a great place to live, work and play.
Located between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Brookwood offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of a city with local schools and businesses surrounded with a suburban community feel.
Brookwood's roots are industrial and those roots go deep. From the early days of the Horsehead mining community to present-day Warrior Met Coal and Mercedes-Benz suppliers, Brookwood offers opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship or expansion.
Local high school athletics and extracurriculars, youth sports and recreation at City Park and access to a variety of outdoor recreation activities offer something for everyone.
