Bienville Square
Bienville Square is a historic city park in the center of downtown Mobile, Alabama. Bienville Square was named for Mobile’s founder, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville.〔Delaney, Caldwell. ''The Story of Mobile'',page 79. Mobile, Alabama: Gill Press, 1953.〕 It takes up the entire block bordered by the streets of Dauphin, Saint Joseph, Saint Francis, and North Conception.
==History==
Bienville Square had its beginnings as a public park in 1824 when the United States Congress passed an act that transferred a large plot of land to the city of Mobile and specified that the property be forever used as a city park. This plot was the site of the old Spanish Hospital on the southwestern corner of the block, at the corner of Dauphin Street and North Conception Street.〔 The city began buying the other lots in the block in 1834 and by 1849 held title to the entire block. The square was a primary gathering place for residents of the city from the 1850s to the 1940s. The late 1960s saw Bienville Square in its most run-down condition as people moved away from downtown to the suburbs.〔Thomason, Michael. ''Mobile : the new history of Alabama's first city'',page 298. Tuscaloosa : University of Alabama Press, 2001. ISBN 0-8173-1065-7〕 The revival of downtown starting in the 1980s saw the popularity of the park increase and its upkeep resumed.
