What is a Sister City?

A Sister City is a broad-based, long-term partnership between two communities in two countries. A relationship is officially recognized after the highest elected or appointed official from both communities sign off on an agreement to become sister cities. It is a relationship between cities to help build people-to-people diplomacy.

The most worthwhile purpose there is in the world today: to help build the road to peace, to help build the road to an enduring peace.
— President Dwight D. Eisenhower, founder of Sister Cities International

Who Are We?

Welcome to Tuscaloosa Sister Cities International. Our goal is to promote long-term, global people-to-people relationships through international leadership, friendship and understanding.

Since 1986, the Tuscaloosa Sister Cities Commission, Inc. has facilitated hundreds of productive partnerships through cultural, civic, and educational exchanges.

Our Sister City relationships with Narashino, Japan, Schorndorf, Germany, and Sunyani-Techiman, Ghana continually enriche our community and its citizens, providing an avenue for the people in each city to develop friendly and mutually beneficial personal and professional relationships.

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends”
