Taren It Up: Fort Conde Has Had 3 Names
MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) Fort Conde may be a historical landmark and a tourist attraction right now, but it was actually used by three monarchs in the past. Local 15's Taren Reed is 'Taren It Up' with this trivia question: What are the three names given to Fort Conde while it was in use?
The three names for Fort Conde are of course Conde when it was during the French period. During the British period the fort was changed to the name Fort Charlotte in honor of King George's wife. And then during the Spanish period it was known as Carlotta, which is the Spanish derivitive of Charlotte, said Jacob Laurence, curator at the History Museum of Mobile.
It's important to understand that Mobile was under three colonial powers before it became an American city. So at the time the only way to support the colony was with a fortification, and each time the fort regained importance as a new power came into play because it was the only way to secure the area for that particular French, British or Spanish monarch, he added.
You may be wondering who Fort Conde is named after right now. And there's a connection to a popular TV show. CLICK HERE to learn more about the connection.

SUMMARY
=======
Mobile was founded as the capital of colonial French Louisiana in 1702 and remained a part of New France for over 60 years. During 1720, when France warred with Spain, Mobile was on the battlefront, so the capital moved west to Biloxi. In 1763, Britain took control of the colony following their victory in the Seven Years War. Following the American Revolutionary War, Mobile did not become a part of the United States, as it was part of territory captured by Spain from Great Britain in 1780.
Mobile first became a part of the United States in 1813, when it was captured by American forces and added to the Mississippi Territory, then later re-zoned into the Alabama Territory in August 1817. Finally on December 14, 1819, Mobile became part of the new 22nd state, Alabama, one of the earlier states of the U.S. Forty-one years later, Alabama left the Union and joined the Confederate States of America in 1861. It returned in 1865 after the American Civil War.
Mobile had spent decades as French, then British, then Spanish, then American, spanning 160 years, up to the Civil War.
