Mobile City Limits 1711
Chapter Marker
This marker is located in the 200 block of Government Street, in a small landscaped area next to a parking lot. The marker reads as follows:
"MOBILE CITY LIMITS 1711
This site marks the southwestern limit of the city of Mobile in 1711. Known then as Port Louis de la Mobile, it had been founded by the French at 27-Mile Bluff in 1702 and moved to its present site in 1711.
Mobile has been a city under Six Flags. The French flag was followed by the English, Spanish, American, Republic of Alabama, Confederate, and again American. This is an unusual record.

Fort Louis de la Louisiane
Old Mobile
Chapter Marker
2001
Marks the nearby location of the French Fort Louis de la Louisiane built in 1702. Fort Louis de la Louisiane was a square fort with bastions on the corners, each equipped with a battery of six cannons. The fort buildings included quarters for soldiers and officers, a chapel, and a warehouse. The fort was surrounded by a log palisade. Due to frequent flooding it was decided to move the town and fort to a location down river at present day Mobile.
