'''Moody''' is a city located in [[St. Clair County, Alabama]]. The city was founded in 1907, and it was named after a local businessman named Epps Moody. It is located about 22 miles (35 km) east of [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham]] and has a population of approximately 12,000 people. The city covers an area of 24.5 square miles, with a land area of 24.3 square miles and a water area of 0.2 square miles.
In the early days, the city was primarily an agricultural community, with cotton and timber being the main crops. However, with the arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century, Moody began to grow and develop into a more industrialized city. Today, the city is home to a number of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and retail.
