Perdido Beach, Alabama
-
- Like many small rural communities, this
waterfront community has seen its share of changes. Family
gardens have been replaced by supermarket chains, kerosene
lanterns have been replaced by electric lights. Gone are the
days of the ox drawn plows and the Model A automobiles.
-
- The community has always enjoyed a close
knit spirit, where neighbors have looked out for and helped each
other. Although we have moved into the era of high speed
technology this little Town still embraces that same community spirit
that it did in days gone by.
-
- In early 2008 that harmonious spirit brought
the community together for a common cause, to preserve our
unhampered lifestyle. It was the consensus of the majority that
it would be in the community’s best interest to incorporate,
thus allowing the Town to make its own decisions concerning its
future growth and development.
- On April 21st., 2009, the residents
voted in a referendum of incorporation, which passed by
approximately two-thirds vote in favor of incorporation.
-
- At the time of incorporation this tiny close
knit community had realized a history of one hundred and eight
years. Its current population consists of 558 permanent
residents, as well as a large number of home owners and property
owners who live elsewhere and claim Perdido Beach as their home
away from home.
- It has been said, “Perdido
Beach is not just a place-but a state of mind”..
