Fort Morgan Historic Site is a property of the Alabama Historical Commission. Fort Morgan was proceeded by Fort Bowyer (that was used during the War of 1812 on Mobile Point). The Fort Morgan was finished in 1834 by the U.S. Government with the purpose of protecting the trade in Mobile Bay from any foreign entity. The fort was occupied by troops during the Civil War, Spanish/American War, WWI, and WWII. The grounds also have a public pier, boat launch, and beach access. hwh
