Excerpt from Bay Minette and Its Vicinity: A Brief Description of the County Seat and Surrounding Region of Baldwin County, Alabama, Now Rapidly Undergoing Development From One of the Greatest Timber Sections of the Country Into a Prosperous Farming Community

To the seeker for a new home;

To the man who has worked for others, and now desires to work for himself;

To the farmer worn in body and purse in earning a living for himself and family out of poor and exhausted soil;

To the tiller of the soil in the North, with its unbearable winter cold, its late spring and killing frosts;

To the man of small means living in a community where the price of farming land is beyond his reach;

To the hillside farmer whose lands are year by year washed more and more bare;

To every one who, for any reason, looks for a new land, in which with renewed hope and energy he can rebuild his broken fortunes, or recover his shattered health, Baldwin County, in the great State of Alabama, offers a hearty welcome and an unrivaled opportunity.

Location -

Baldwin County lies with its southern border on the Gulf of Mexico, and extends thence seventy-five miles to the north, with Perdido Bay and the western line of Florida bounding it on the east, and Mobile Bay and the Alabama River bounding it on the west. It is the more easterly of the two Alabama counties which border on the Gulf of Mexico. Its extreme width is about forty miles, and nowhere, except in the northernmost point, is it narrower than twenty miles in width. It is larger than the State of Rhode Island, nearly as large as Delaware.
