Established at the turn of
the 20th century, the town of Beatrice was settled while work continued
on the construction of a railroad link between Selma, Ala. to the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad terminal in Pensacola, Fla. History
remains a very important part of life in Beatrice. With historic
buildings such as the Robbins Hotel as well as numerous period homes,
the streets of Beatrice offer a view that can take you back to a simpler
time when life was less hurried.
Don't let the crepe myrtle-lined
streets fool you, though. Beatrice is poised, along with Monroe County,
for economic growth following the announcement of the ThyssenKrupp USA
Steel Mill and EADS Northrop Grumman in nearby Mobile County. With
available property as well as a peaceful quality way of life, the Town
of Beatrice is ready to take her place among other South Alabama
communities during this time of unprecedented growth.
