Alabama's French roots reach back to 1702, when Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville founded a settlement at Mobile, the first permanent European town in the territory that later became the state. French colonists held the Gulf Coast for decades before Britain took control in 1763, and Spain and then the United States followed. A bird's-eye view with French wording points to that colonial inheritance, which many Alabama communities carried into the nineteenth century. By then the state's economy depended heavily on cotton, timber, and the railroads and river landings that moved them to market, and towns competed for trade and civic standing. Residents of the period knew the region as ground that had passed through French, Spanish, British, and American hands.
