History of Mobile

America's First Mardi Gras RoadyGoat

New Orleans gets the headlines, but Mobile threw the party first. America's oldest organized Carnival celebration started here in 1703, when Mobile was the capital of French Louisiana — fifteen years before New Orleans was even founded in 1718. The masked balls, the parades, the floats and the throws all debuted in Mobile: masked balls began in 1704, and the first known parade rolled in 1711, when a society pushed a giant papier-mâché bull's head through the streets on a cart. The traditions never died; they were revived after the Civil War and still fill downtown Mobile every winter with costumed marching societies and tossed trinkets. The city sits on the Mobile River where it meets the bay, a port town of azaleas and oak-lined streets. Mobile invented the whole spectacle — and quietly kept it.
