Founded upon utopian ideals, Fairhope was established in 1894 by Henry George and several families who funded the colony with a Single Tax System. Under the plan, residents hold a renewable 99-year lease on their land and own all improvements. The single tax colony pays all taxes. Civic pride and idealism still prevail as evidenced by the city's attractively landscaped streets and profusion of flowering gardens. An artistic migration accounts for the resort's many unusual downtown shops, galleries and restaurants. Every year in March, the artistic theme is carried over into the Arts and Crafts Festival of Fairhope that is held downtown and spans 3 days. Learn More...
