The NWA Alabama Heavyweight Championship was created in October, 1962.

Since its creation, the championship has been defended in a number of NWA territories throughout the decades.

The title stayed there until CCW left the NWA to join the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in 1988.

The title then became again inactive in November 2002, when APW created its own Heavyweight Championship.
