Mobile

Mobile sits at the head of Mobile Bay in Alabama, United States, where the Mobile River reaches tidal waters connected to the Gulf of Mexico. Founded by the French in 1702, it was the first capital of French Louisiana and retains a Gulf Coast character shaped by French, Spanish, British, African American and maritime influences. Mardi Gras remains central to the city’s calendar: Mobile dates its annual Carnival tradition to 1703, before New Orleans developed its better-known celebrations. Its waterfront also serves one of the nation’s busiest ports, while the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park preserves the Second World War battleship USS Alabama.
