Fort Morgan
Fort Morgan is a Third System Coastal Defense Fort. Third System forts were built after the War of 1812 because Congress realized that the southern and eastern coastlines needed stronger fortifications. Construction began in 1819 and was completed in 1834, Fort Morgan was named for General Daniel Morgan, a Revolutionary War hero. Fort Morgan was used in the Civil War, Spanish-American War and as a training base during World War I. In 1941 the Fort was reactivated and manned by the Navy and Coast Guard before being deactivated in 1946 and turned over the State of Alabama.

Many people do not know that Alabama even has beaches, but Alabama has the most beautiful white sugar sand beaches around. The weather is glorious, the area is full of golf courses, and the Alabama Gulf Coast has been a steady award winner in family beach vacation categories. Gulf Shores is the original and most well known part of the beach, Orange Beach has been more recently developed and Perdido Key is right next to Orange Beach. We do not have nearly the traffic problems that the Destin area seems to have now-a-days. The prices are very reasonable down in Dixie, the weather is exceptional, and the people are the friendliest ever !
