Geocache Description:

A medium size cache located just off the public boardwalks of The Village (La Aldea).

This area, west of the highway to the shore of Mobile Bay, south to Yancey Branch and north to Bay Front Park Drive, has been a natural campsite, meeting place and rest stop, dating back as early as 1500AD. Today the lasting effects of Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina can still be seen with the debris along the wood lines.

Artifacts, arrowheads, clay pottery, and implements were excavated here near burial sites of prehistoric mound builders. Native American tribes held large council meetings here and called this area the “Sacred” or “Neutral Ground.”

Pioneers built log cabins here; several of these family names remain prominent within our community (D’Olive, van Iderstine, Carney, and Starke).

Between 1670 and 1763, French troops from Fort de la Mobile stayed here.

The Village became important as the eastern terminal of ferry traffic as people and cargo moved between Mobile and Pensacola.
