Originally founded in 1702 at 27-Mile Bluff up river, Mobile was relocated in 1711 to the current site where a temporary wooden stockade fort was constructed to protect the town. It was built by the French as a defense against British and Spanish attack on the strategic location of Mobile and its Bay, the eastern most part of the Louisiana colony. Fort Condé protected Mobile and its citizens for nearly 100 years from 1723-1820. The History Museum of Mobile's Senior Curator, Jacob Laurence; tells the history of the fort and the role it played in the founding of the city.
