The Small Town Whose Charm Earned It the Title of America's Coolest

Magnolia Springs, Alabama

Situated by the tranquil Magnolia River, Magnolia Springs is a delightful town in Alabama founded in 1800. It is just a short drive from Mobile, Alabama.

According to Far & Wide, this destination is far more than just a suburb—it enchants visitors with its charming houses and picturesque scenery featuring stately oak trees, colorful azaleas, cascading wisteria, delicate dogwoods, and, of course, magnificent magnolia trees.

“Located along the Magnolia River, Magnolia Springs dates back to 1800 and is mere minutes from Mobile, Alabama,” said Far & Wide. This isn’t a suburb, however. No, this is a sleepy town of adorable houses and canopies of oak trees, azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, and, of course, magnolia trees. Drive along its quiet streets and feel completely lost in an authentic Southern backdrop.”
