The diversity of lifestyles in Baldwin County defies all stereotypes. There is, quite simply, no other place like it. At 110 miles long and an average 20 miles wide, Baldwin County is one of the largest U. S. counties east of the Mississippi River. Within its boundaries the landscape changes from a glittering Gulf Coast of sparkling water and snow white beaches into a rolling farmland and deep forest threaded by fresh water creeks to numerous to have names. Perhaps the landscapes set the tone for living, because every lifestyle is available to county residents except the harried rat race of the big city.
Creativity flourishes amid countless performing and visual art groups.
Vast spaces of undeveloped land are still available for those who want to raise livestock or agricultural crops. The laid-back atmosphere of the Gulf Coast invites new residents and new businesses to serve the increasing demand of tourists. Friendly small towns and unincorporated communities are scattered throughout the county, ready to welcome newcomers into their schools, civic clubs and churches. Opportunities in Baldwin County are limited only by your imagination. France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Yugoslavia, Russia, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and a dozen other countries have contributed to the county's ancestry, making it a thoroughly American melting pot of fine people.
