The port of Mobile remained open to Confederate use from the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861 until August 1864, when a Union fleet scored a decisive naval victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay. Union troops eventually captured the city in April 1865. Mobile’s downtown business center enjoyed a redevelopment boom after the 1984 completion of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which links north Mississippi’s Tennessee River with the Tombigbee River in Alabama and provides shipping access to the South’s interior. Mobile retains an old Southern and French flavor, and it is known for its gardens and old houses, many of which are decorated with elaborate wrought-iron work. The city’s name is derived from the French version of the name of the Mobilian Native Americans who lived in the region in the early 18th century. | ||
