Alabama Creoles are a Louisiana French group native to the region around Mobile, Alabama. They are the descendants of colonial French and Spanish settlers who arrived in Mobile in the 18th century. They are sometimes known as Cajans or Cajuns although they are distinct from the Cajuns of southern Louisiana, and most do not trace their roots to the French settlers of Acadia.
