Long home to a variety of American Indians tribes, the first Spanish explorer, Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, sailed into Mobile Bay in 1519.The British and Spanish remained active here, but the first permanent European settlers were actually French, arriving in the late 17th century. By 1711, Fort Louis on the present site of Mobile was settled, and then declared the capital of a new French colony called Louisiana.
