Located in Baldwin County, Alabama, Spanish Fort is a small city, with less than 10,000 inhabitants. The city’s settler history dates back to 1712, when it was first a French-occupied area, founded by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. After the French and Indian War, the British took over the area, followed by the Spanish in yet another war.
During the War of 1812, the place was officially governed by the United States. Spanish Fort has an abundance of flora and fauna, coupled with a wide range of wildlife in the vicinity. The famous Mobile Bay is also a great attraction in itself. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals, especially for you in this little city. Read on to find out more!
