The South does not get enough credit. While more and more Americans are moving to such hot places as California, New York City, and Miami, Americans are forgetting about how great and unique the South is. There is a reason why the band Lynrd Skynrd famously sang about Sweet Home Alabama and if you really need to see why the South rules, just visit the Alabama city of Bay Minette.

Situated in Baldwin County (the second fastest growing county in the Yellowhammer State) where it resides as county seat, Bay Minette has a total population that exceeds 7,500. The city is located in one of the most gorgeous parts of the country where it is nestled in the pine forests of North Baldwin County. Bay Minette enjoys excellent location as it is located 35 miles northeast of Mobile, 45 miles west of the Florida city of Pensacola, and 75 miles east of the Mississippi city of Biloxi.

Home to a thriving timber industry, Bay Minette is a dream place to live for the outdoors enthusiasts. Awe-inspiring forests are playgrounds for the residents of Bay Minette and the nearby Tensaw River Delta is available for some summer fun. Additionally, Bay Minette is a major center of commercial and social activity in the area. Bay Minette is the home of the largest employer in Baldwin County and the city is a great place to move to for the person looking for a fresh start.
