Fact text

  • Daphne calls itself 'The Jubilee City' because crabs, shrimp, and other sea creatures spontaneously wash ashore en masse, locals just scoop them up.
  • The Jubilee phenomenon happens when oxygen levels in Mobile Bay drop, forcing sea life to the surface in a kind of accidental seafood buffet.
  • When Daphne lost its county seat status in 1900, residents refused to hand over the records, so officials literally hauled them away in wagons under cover of night.
  • The Queen of Italy personally sent Daphne a gift of royal vestments and sacred treasures in 1898, and they're still on display at a local church today.
  • During Hurricane Danny in 1997, winds blew so much water out of Mobile Bay that it was nearly possible to walk across it.
