On December 14, 1819, Alabama became the 22nd state. "Alabama" was the name of a Native American tribe that lived in the area. Originally, a river in Alabama was named after the tribe and shortly after the name of the state was finalized.
Located 22 miles west of Gulf Shores is Fort Morgan, which is one of America's National Historical Landmarks. Fort Morgan survived four wars: the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. The Fort Morgan area is now designated as a museum with several of its original buildings restored. The lighthouse and officers' housing have been restored to its original state.
