(Photo/ Robert DeWitt/Lagniappe) A lawsuit that lasted years and cost thousands of dollars pushed the Gulf Shores City Limits back along Alabama Highway 180 (Fort Morgan Road). Some Fort Morgan area residents are seeking to incorporate in order to block any further moves by Gulf Shores. Ultimately, they hope to prevent high-density development in the Fort Morgan area.
Some people say Fort Morgan is more of a state of mind than a place. Sprawling from the Gulf Shores city limits to the historic landmark from which it draws its name, the peninsula is a sparsely populated stretch of mostly single-family dwellings — a throwback when it comes to Gulf Coast beaches.
Many of its permanent residents want to keep it that way and are seeking to put it on the map, literally. The Fort Morgan Civic Association incorporation committee has recommended that the area incorporate — become a town — and residents have engaged in serious talks with Baldwin County’s legislative delegation.
