Originally known as Oak Grove, Huffman was founded by a group of settlers from Virginia and South Carolina in the 1820s. Birmingham, “the magic city,” was starting to become an industrial powerhouse and this boom had people flocking to the northeast neighborhood of Huffman. Today, Huffman remains a rural suburb with most homes dating back to the mid-twentieth century when the neighborhood was first annexed into Birmingham. Longtime resident and local Realtor with Norman and Associates, Margie Nixon says, "it's an attractive area because homes are more affordable than other neighborhoods nearby and it's only 15 minutes from the vibrant downtown district."
