Spanish Fort, Historical military settlement in Baldwin County, United States.
Spanish Fort extends across 33.4 square miles on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, including 4.7 square miles of waterways and natural spaces.
The settlement originated in 1712 with a French trading post, later transformed into a Spanish military fortification during the American Revolutionary War in 1780.
The City Seal incorporates six different national flags that ruled over Spanish Fort through time, reflecting the multicultural heritage of this location.
The Eastern Shore Centre provides regional shopping options to residents, while the municipal complex spans 17 acres with administrative offices and public facilities.
