Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District
Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District, Historic district in Chickasaw, Alabama, US.
The Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District contains residential buildings, community facilities, and commercial structures developed for shipyard workers in northern Mobile County.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron Company established this planned community during World War I to support their shipbuilding operations, with additional expansion during World War II.
The district reflects early 20th century industrial community planning with dedicated spaces for housing, education, healthcare, recreation, and commercial activities for shipyard employees.
Visitors can explore the district through a driving tour organized by the Chickasaw Historic Preservation Society, which showcases numerous original structures from the 1940s.
The neighborhood features an unusual street layout where some roads were designated exclusively for pedestrian traffic, requiring vehicles to use separate service alleys.
