About Spanish Fort, Alabama
Spanish Fort is a city of 10,049 people in Baldwin County, set above the eastern shore of Mobile Bay where the Blakeley River meets it. Sometime between 1750 and 1760, Louis Augustin Rochon, whose father Charles Rochon helped found Mobile, started a plantation on the bluffs above the river, and it grew fairly wealthy. During the Revolution, on October 1, 1780, Choctaw warriors raided and burned the plantation, killed three members of the household and marched the rest of the family to Pensacola, where the British general John Campbell paid a ransom to free them.
Spanish Fort owes its name to a Civil War recommendation. In August 1864, Col. John H. Gindrat advised a Confederate engineer to build Mobile's eastern defenses at "the old Spanish Fort." That fall, troops under Maj. Gen. Dabney H. Maury dug batteries, rifle pits and trenches running more than a mile. Union forces under Maj. Gen. Edward R. S. Canby attacked its 1,800 defenders in late March 1865, and after a heavy bombardment on April 8 the Confederates slipped away that night through the swamps to Fort Blakeley. With both forts lost, Union troops later marched into Mobile without a fight.
- GΓ‘lvez's blockhouse of 1780In 1780, Spanish forces under Bernardo de GΓ‘lvez built a blockhouse with two cannon on the bluffs across from Mobile. In January 1781 about 150 Spanish soldiers held it through a day of fighting against British troops, Indian allies and warships.
- Which Spanish fort?For years GΓ‘lvez's fort was placed here, but historians now think it more likely stood at today's Daphne, near Village Point. Archaeological evidence suggests the post Gindrat named in 1864 was a smaller Spanish outpost from later in the colonial period.
- A battlefield under the townSo little is left of the 1865 battle that the site has never joined the National Register of Historic Places. The U.S. Department of the Interior found the ground changed beyond recognition as the town grew, though traces of the old entrenchments can still be seen.
- Bridgehead became a city in 1993The area was rural farmland with no settlement of its own until a causeway joined Mobile and Baldwin counties. A community called Bridgehead grew up at its eastern end, and that community became the city of Spanish Fort when it incorporated on July 19, 1993.
- A city hall of its ownThe young city broke ground on November 1, 2012, for a community center where Blakeley Way meets Spanish Fort Boulevard, on the northwest side of that intersection. City staff moved in during September 2015, and the building now holds the library, the mayor's office and the city's administrative offices.
