Mobile County, Alabama
Mobile County anchors southwest Alabama. The port city of Mobile is at its heart with nearly 420,000 residents. Interstate 10 and 65 keep it well-connected to the rest of the state.
Mobile County is unique in its own ways. First, the county claims the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States, predating New Orleans. Second, Battleship USS Alabama stands guard in the bay, now a floating museum.
Dauphin Island, a barrier island at the county’s southern tip, has beaches and bird-watching. The Mobile-Tensaw Delta, dubbed “America’s Amazon,” provides a paradise for kayakers and visitors. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Mobile County.
