The Historic Marker Program in the City of Birmingham began in the Spring of 2000, when markers for seven buildings were approved by the Historic District Commission. The plaques that are affixed to historic buildings and sites are ceramic style markers that provide a brief history of the particular site or building. This is an ongoing program in the City, and the Historic District Commission will continue to nominate sites and buildings as they see fit.
