Fairhope was founded in November, 1894 on the site of former Alabama City as a utopian single tax colony by the Fairhope Industrial Association: a group of 28 followers of economist Henry George who had incorporated earlier that year in Des Moines, Iowa. Their corporate constitution explained their purpose in founding a new colony:
to establish and conduct a model community or colony, free from all forms of private monopoly, and to secure to its members therein equality of opportunity, the full reward of individual efforts, and the benefits of co-operation in matters of general concern.
In forming their demonstration project, they pooled their funds to purchase land at Stapleton's pasture on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and then divided it into a number of long-term leaseholds. The corporation paid all governmental taxes from rents paid by the lessees, thus simulating a single-tax. The purpose of the single-tax colony was to eliminate disincentives for productive use of land and thereby retain the value of land for the community.
Fairhope Avenue was one of the properties on the 1910 version of the board game The Landlord's Game.
In 1907 educator Marietta Johnson founded the School for Organic Education in Fairhope. The school was praised in John Dewey's influential 1915 book Schools of Tomorrow. Dewey and Johnson were founding members of the Progressive Education Association.
Fairhope became a popular wintering spot for artists and intellectuals. Sherwood Anderson, Wharton Esherick, Carl Zigrosser, and Upton Sinclair were among its notable visitors.

The Fairhope Single-Tax Corporation still operates, with 1,800 leaseholds covering more than 4,000 acres (16 km2) in and around the current city of Fairhope. Despite the ideals of the corporation, the process of land speculation has propelled the transformation of Fairhope from utopian experiment to artist's and intellectual's colony, to boutique resort and affluent suburb of Mobile. In fact, some local residents refer to Fairhope as Carmel-by-the-Bay alluding to Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Monterey Peninsula in California.
For over 50 years, fishermen and residents of Fairhope have experienced the jubilee phenomenon. During a jubilee along the shores of Mobile Bay, some aquatic animals, including blue crabs, flounder, stingrays, and eels, come to the shallow water, such as around Fairhope, Alabama. At those times, it is possible to catch the fish, crabs, and other sealife near the water's edge.
A nearby attraction known as the Weeks Bay Nature Reserve is known for the many oaks, wildlife and pitcher plants along the elevated walkways through the swamp forest.
The Bell Building on the Faulkner State Community College campus currently houses the Marietta Johnson Museum and Fairhope Historical Museum.[4] Fairhope is currently in the process of building a historic museum that will be located in the near center of downtown where the city hall was once located.

Fishing at the Fairhope pier today.
A large redfish was caught in the marina area this morning.
Nightime Fairhope Pier
The Fairhpe Municipal Pier has been an attraction since the first one was built in 1894. Each big
storm that destroyed a pier challenged the city to rebuild ever bigger and better. Hurrican Katrina
was the catalyst that prompted this newest version of the concrete pier and it is beautiful and useful.
At 1440 feet, it is over a quarter mile long, many people use it for exercise as well as for recreation and
fishing. A new and enlarged restaurant next to the offers electric cart passenger service for its
customers. Every evening finds a throng of walkers, lookers, artists, fisherpeople, and wanderers
taking in the scenery. I have been all of the above at different times of my life. These videos were
done by son Elliott a few weeks ago when daughter Christine was visiting.
Fairhope Citizen Begs For Pedestrian-friendly Pier
A Fairhope citizen asked the city council not to permit vehicles on the municipal pier that could make walking there more hazardous, especiailly for seniors and the disabled.
Good Fairhope fishing lately.
A man caught four big red drum fish from the end of the pier last night.

Who is Ted Burnett?
Who is Ted Burnett? is a autobiographical video by Ted Burnett. Burnett talks about his experience as a student in school struggling with dyslexia and how it later impacted his sales career before triggering a nervous breakdown while getting married. The highlight of the breakdown was having an emotional and mental breakthrough. At the age of 36, Ted began writing political and social commentaries (2007). Today, he has produced over ninety essays while building a world-class audience of 18,000 contacts in academia, banking, business, foundations, government (including heads of state, lawmakers and governors), healthcare, media, non-profits and policy institutes. His story is a reminder to aim high and to never give up on oneself.

Beginner Pier Fishing - Gulf State Park Pier in Gulf Shores AL
Can YouTube help me become a better fisherman? In this episode I battle the wind and birds trying to fish from the Gulf State Park Pier in Gulf Shores AL. I manage to catch a couple of croakers. I use one as cut bait and also catch a white trout. While fishing I witness the birds working a bait ball that I couldn't really see from up on the pier. It sure is fun watching pelicans dive into the water! I am using some old fishing gear that I don't mind possibly ruining in the salt. Even the snowbirds have a great place to fish during the winter months along the coast in Gulf Shores Alabama.
