| Note: This history section is slowly under construction. This list shows all known titleholders who have represented Alabama in the Miss America Pageant. In 1936, 1946, and 1948, two winners were crowned in the Miss Alabama/Birmingham Pageant and both competed at Miss America. The titles of Miss Birmingham and Miss Alabama were both owned and administered by The Birmingham News and the primary title changed permanently to Miss Alabama after 1946. The title of Miss Montgomery was initially a stand-alone pageant whose winner competed at Miss America from 1937 - 1940; Miss Montgomery later competed as a local titleholder in the Miss Alabama Pageant. The title of Miss Mobile was also initially a stand-alone pageant whose winner competed at Miss America in 1926; Miss Mobile later competed as a local titleholder in the Miss Alabama Pageant. The current system in use, which allows only the winners of local pageants to compete in the Miss Alabama Pageant with no at-large contestants in the state pageant, has been in place since about 1971. Miss America was not held in 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, and 1934. |
