Mobile, Port city in Alabama, United States
Located at the intersection of Mobile River and Mobile Bay, this Alabama metropolis extends across coastal plains with numerous waterways and green spaces.
Established in 1702 as the first capital of French Louisiana, Mobile changed governance between France, Britain, and Spain before joining the United States in 1813.
The National African American Archives and Museum preserves the heritage of African Americans who contributed to Mobile's development through maritime trade and cultural celebrations.
The Port of Mobile ranks as the 12th largest port in the United States, processing millions of tons of cargo annually through its deep-water terminal facilities.
Mobile introduced the first organized Carnival celebrations in North America, with the earliest mystic society established in 1830, predating New Orleans Mardi Gras traditions.
