| About
Mobile AL |
The settlement that was to
become Mobile was first established in 1702, at Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the
Mobile River, as the capital of the French colony of Louisiana, but was transferred
to the British in 1763 as a result of the Treaty of Paris.
The port town was captured by the Spanish in 1780 during the American Revolutionary
War.
The Spanish held Mobile until 1814 when it was captured by the American General
Wilkinson, by then it was the second largest seaport on the Gulf Coast.
After the civil war, the harbor was substantially improved and deepened, and ship-building
became a notable industry.
During World War II, industry accelerated with the increase in ship-building and
workers from outlying areas moved into Mobile to fill jobs on the waterfront,
with many staying after the war's conclusion.
In the post-War years, the Brookley
Air Base was built in Mobile. |
The phenomenal influx of workers from the surrounding rural areas expanded the
population in leaps and bounds.
By 1956, Mobile's square mileage had tripled to accommodate the growth.
Brookley's closure in the mid-1960s sent economic tremors through the area which
took many years to absorb.
Today, Mobile has a successful and diversified economic development program attracting
investments and jobs from around the world.
Mobile Bay is recognized worldwide for having many unique attractions. The legendary
Bellingrath Gardens and Home and the USS ALABAMA Battleship, winner of nine World
War II battle stars, are just waiting to be explored.
