The story that gets told in Huntsville is he went somewhere in Texas and Huntsville and liked Huntsville better because the mountains reminded him of Germany. Maybe urban legend or maybe both are true? Not sure I'm connecting how the soil composition would matter but I'm not a rocket scientist.
That's what his best biography says: Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War. Apparently, the Germans weren't happy out in the desert. The Tennessee River Valley reminded them much more of home and the government didn't have much use for the Arsenal immediately after WWII, so it was a complementary match.

Lots of German scientist settled on Monte Sano. Von Braun’s old house is off Old Big Cove road

Madison wouldn't even exist without Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal. Also, I personally dont care for all the uppity Yankees that move down here to work and then act like southerners are dumb.
It's weird how people still use the word "yankee".
