Yes, Birmingham England was a big industrial centre centuries before Birmingham Alabama was created..
Birmingham was founded in 1871, during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, through the merger of three farm towns, most notably Elyton. The new city was named for Birmingham, England, the United Kingdom's second largest city and then a major industrial city.
