Unna is a town which is the seat of the Unna district. It exists on the route of an ancient salt-trading route, the Hellweg. In the older part of town are many half-timbered buildings built between the 16th and 19th centuries. Unna was an agriculturally-based town until the 19th century, when it became industrially-based. Unna holds the largest Italian festival north of Italy every two years. The old Linden brewery (in the meantime a cultural center) is another attraction of the town.

Alabama

Alabama was once a region claimed by the Spaniards as part of Florida. The English also claimed it as part of the province of Carolina. Nevertheless, when the French took over Louisiana they also took over the territory including Alabama. Later when the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase and the Mississippi Territory, there was much controversy as to whether or not Alabama was included. Nevertheless, Alabama became the 22nd state in 1819.
