Demographics edit
Alabama Port Precinct (1880) edit
Alabama Port has never reported separately as an unincorporated community on the U.S. Census. However, in 1880, the 19th precinct of Mobile County bore its name, and had 417 residents.[3] The name of the precinct was changed in 1890[3] to Cedar Point, then Heron Bayou and Dauphin Island in 1900,[4] simply Heron Bayou for 1910-20[5] and "Herron Bay" for 1930–50.[6] It was consolidated under the Bayou La Batre census division in 1960.[7]
