== Fun facts ==
* The name "Citronelle" is French and is derived from the citronella plant, which grows throughout the town. In the late 19th century, the town became a popular resort destination because of the climate, herbs, and healing waters. Many hotels were built to accommodate the surge of visitors.
* Citronelle sits atop the Citronelle Dome, a salt dome that is still rising, as shown by the centrifugal drainage of streams away from the center. In 1955 oil was discovered in this geologic structure at a greater depth than had previously been considered as feasible, and so the Citronelle Dome was among the first of many "deep" oil fields. The discovery well produced from the Glen Rose Formation at a depth of 10,879 ft (3,315.9 m). Today, the city is known as the oil capital of Alabama.
* Citronelle has little in the way of amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a Subway, Hardee's, Little Caesars Pizza, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, a landing strip, Fred's, CVS, AutoZone, Ace Hardware, a sports complex, a little bit of public battle fields, an RV park, Mill Creek Golf Course, an American Legion, Market Place, and not much else.
