Blakeley is a ghost town in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States.

[2] During the height of its existence, Blakeley was a thriving town which flourished as a competitor to its western neighbor, Mobile.

One of the last battles of the Civil War was fought here in April 1865, as Union soldiers overran Confederates.

Before the town was established and populated by European settlers, Native Americans had lived in the area.

They left for New York City in 1820 to found Brown & Bell, a shipyard famous for its clipper ships and steamships.
