Geography
Daphne is tucked away on the eastern shoreline of Mobile Bay, 30 minutes west of Pensacola, Fla.
Cultural Attractions
In the early 1900s, settlers from Italy arrived, bringing their skills in agriculture and a strong tradition of foods and wine. Their influence remains today and is celebrated at the annual Festa Italiana.
Recreation
With the Mobile Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and various rivers within close proximity, hunting, fishing, and water sports are always within arm's reach.
Economy
Technology and manufacturing are some of the major industries that operate in Daphne.
Fun Fact
During the summer, the odd phenomenon known as the Jubilee can bring blue crabs, shrimp, and fish from the depths of the bay to shallow waters near the shoreline. Any who care to stock an ice chest with seafood for the summer may do so, free of charge.
