ANNISTON , a city and the county seat of Calhoun county,
Alabama
 , U.S.A., in the north-eastern part of the state, about 63 m. E. by N. of
Birmingham
 . Pop. (1890) 9498; (1900), 9695, of whom 3669 were of negro descent: (ioro census) 12,794. Anniston is served by the Southern, the Seaboard Air Line, and the Louisville & Nashville railways. The city is situated on the slope of Blue
Mountain
 , a chain of the Blue
Ridge
 , and is a health resort. It is the seat of the Noble Institute (for girls), established in 1886 by Samuel Noble (18341888), a wealthy iron-founder, and of the
Alabama
  Presbyterian College for Men (1905). There are vast quantities of iron ore in the vicinity of the city, the Coosa coal-fields being only 25 M. distant. Anniston is an important manufacturing city, the
principal
 
industries
  being the manufacture of iron, steel and
cotton
 . In loos the city's factory products were valued at $2,525,455. An iron furnace was established on the site of Anniston during the Civil War, but it was destroyed by the federal troops in 1865; and in 1872 it was rebuilt on a much larger scale. The city was founded in 1872 as a private enterprise, by the Woodstock Iron Company, organized by Samuel Noble and Gen. Daniel Tyler (x7991882); but it was not opened for general
settlement
  until twelve years later. It was chartered as a city in 1879.
