Backed by a 300-year-old history, the coastal city of Mobile, Alabama, serves as the cultural center of the Gulf Coast. The French founded Mobile in 1702 as the first capital of French Louisiana – it was even called the “Paris of the South.” Today, while it’s the oldest city in the state, measuring 180 square miles, it has a relatively young population (median age: 37.3 as of 2022). Its economy is mainly driven by healthcare, manufacturing, aviation and aerospace, and logistics and distribution.
