A Look at Mobile, AL:
Located at the junction of the Mobile River and Mobile
Bay on the northern Gulf of Mexico, the city of Mobile
is the only seaport in Alabama. The Port of Mobile has
always played a key role in the economic health of the
city since its beginning and has been supplemented
with growing sectors in aerospace. As one of the
Gulf Coast’s main cultural centers, Mobile houses
the USS Alabama Battleship, several art museums, a
professional opera, a professional ballet company and
a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is
also known for having the oldest organized Mardi Gras
celebrations in the United States, dating back to the
18th century of its early colonial period.
