City of Spanish Fort Subdivision Regulations

The City of Spanish Fort received a grant from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Coastal Section to fund the development of new Subdivision Regulations. Subdivision Regulations are an important tool that the City uses to review development proposals. They set standards for physical construction, environmental management, stormwater management, and also, how the City connects through street and sidewalk alignment. As a result, Subdivision Regulations are very important.

The development of new Subdivision Regulations is an interactive and public process and is not completed overnight. Documents will be posted on this website for public review. Please check back often and feel free to offer any comments you may have.

City History

Civil War Reenactment

 

 

 

 

The City of Spanish Fort was incorporated on July 19th, 1993.

Spanish Fort rests on a hill overlooking Mobile Bay, just a short distance from the City of Mobile. Our City's history dates back to 1781 shortly after the American Revolution when Spanish troops defending the City of Mobile engaged British troops attempting to recapture Mobile.

Military action also occurred in the area during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. In 1865, three Confederate Brigades stopped 20,000 Union Army troops at Spanish Fort. The Confederate Forces, outnumbered 10 to 1, engaged the Union Forces in the last battle of the War Between the States; March 26th - April 9th, 1865.

Breastworks from the Civil War still remain throughout our area and the residential subdivisions. Because of our great past, the City's seal represents its history.
