Baldwin County, AL is considered by many of its residents as "God's
Country." A lush green paradise surrounded on all sides by
one form of water or another, it has become known as fisherman's
haven and a golfer's dream. The land contains a bounty of wildlife,
natural and protected, that is harvested by the locals through hunting
and fishing. Water sports abound, in fresh and salt-water, with
boating, jet skiing, surfing, water skiing, and swimming among just
a few of the activities available for the avid water enthusiast.
|
 |
|
Many areas
are protected by the state and federal government to
maintain the pristine conditions of its natural systems. |
 |
Agriculture has always played an important part in the economics
of Baldwin County. Cotton is still one of the persistent cash crops
in the area, but just about anything can be grown. Potatoes, corn,
peas, butterbeans, soy beans, tomatoes, squash, okra, peanuts, eggplant,
turnip and collard greens, and many other vegetables are grown and
sold locally in our farm markets and grocery stores. Cattle, hogs,
and poultry head the production of meat products in Baldwin County.
|
|
Not only
is the production of food items an important
agricultural aspect, but forestry conservation, sod
farming, tree farming and horticulture are others.
|
|
The county is in the top three growing counties in the state and
its lure is diversity. In 2000, the county's population was reported
to be 140,415. It was estimated in 2003 that the population had
increased by 13,500 and by 2008 the population is projected to be
almost 180,000 residents. The primary locations that had experienced
the growth prior to 2000 was the Eastern Shore areas of Daphne,
Spanish Fort, and Fairhope, as well as the South Baldwin areas of
Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and Foley. |
|
The area
now experiencing massive growth is the Central Baldwin
area with thousands of new home builds being reported.
There is so much in this county to do, to be involved
with, to simply have fun with. Come join us in Baldwin County, "God's
Country." Where else would you want to live? |
