Dauphin Island is a barrier island located in the Gulf of Mexico and part of Mobile County, Alabama. Originally inhabited by Native Americans, the island was later claimed by French colonists who named it "Isle Dauphine" in honor of the heir to the French throne. Today, this coastal community serves as both a residential area and tourist destination, known for its historical significance and natural attractions.
The island plays an important role in Gulf Coast ecology and serves as a first landfall for many migratory birds, making it a significant site for bird watching. The island's cultural heritage is preserved through various historical sites, including Fort Gaines, a 19th-century fortress that played a notable role in the Battle of Mobile Bay during the American Civil War. The island also houses several educational institutions focused on marine science and local ecology.
