Symbolism[]
The flags in the seal represent the six nations that have governed Mobile: France, United Kingdom, Spain, the United States of America, Independent Republic of Alabama, and the Confederate States of America, 1861-1865. The sea gull and ship are significant because Mobile is among the nation’s 10 major seaports, and the cotton bale was responsible for much of Mobile’s early growth and prosperity. The tall building and mill depict the many industries which have come to Mobile in recent years.
