During the 1700s, French colonists traveled to America with one goal in mind - to transform North America into New France. Several districts were established by the French: Quebec, Montreal, and Louisiana, to name a few. Each of these districts needed capital cities of their own. For Louisiana, Mobile was built to be that city. Founded in 1702, Mobile served as French Louisiana’s first capital until 1720. Many years later, in 1803, French Louisiana was transferred to the United States via the Louisiana Purchase. At this point, Mobile became a part of Alabama’s territory. In fact, it became the seat of Mobile County during the 1800s, and remains so to this day.
With such a rich and textured past, it’s no wonder why Mobile has become one of America’s major historic centers. The city is filled with all kinds of marvelous museums and significant historical sites. Between Mobile’s 45 public parks, botanical gardens, and mansions, guests will have plenty to see and do during their trips. In recent years, Mobile has also become popular with cruise enthusiasts. There are multiple deepwater terminals at the Port of Mobile that serve as launching points for ships like the Carnival Fantasy and the Carnival Fascination.
