Daphne Wedding

Daphne is a city in Baldwin County, Alabama on the eastern shoreline of Mobile Bay just off I-10: 11 miles east of Mobile, 45 miles west of Pensacola, Florida and 150 miles southwest of Montgomery, the State Capital. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 16,581.

The city of Daphne likely dates to the middle of the 16th century with some historical evidence dating to 1557 and the period of Spanish Exploration. Prior to that time the region was populated by a variety of Native American tribes. In 1763, the community of Daphne was established and was most often known simply as "the Village." The town of Daphne was officially established in April of 1874 when the Post Office for Daphne was opened.

Local historians record that Daphne was the county seat of Baldwin County until the mid-1800's when all of the county records were stolen and moved by rivals to Bay Minette, Alabama which remains today as the county's seat of government.
