History

The Fairhope Municipal Pier has long served as a beloved landmark and gathering place for both locals and visitors alike. This pier, often referred to as the "Fairhope Pier," was initially constructed in the early 20th century as part of the town's plan to create a community-oriented space that offered both scenic beauty and access to the waters of Mobile Bay. Founded in 1894, the town of Fairhope itself was established by a group of Midwestern settlers looking to create a utopian community based on unique principles of cooperative ownership and individual freedom. As the town developed, the pier became an essential part of its layout and culture, drawing on Fairhope's guiding values of public access and community.
