Sand Town is a historical residential area and the oldest African American neighborhood located in the Spring Hill community of Mobile, Alabama. Established before 1845, Sand Town predates the United States Civil War. Nearby stands a culturally significant 145 year old American landmark: a continuously functional brick church where residents hold services every Wednesday and Sunday. An adjacent cemetery (Rising Sons Cemetery) commemorates the Sand Town community ancestors. They were former slaves and free Indigenous Black Americans who created this community together. For more history see the community website.
