Creola is a city[3] in Mobile County, Alabama, United States.

U.S. Route 43 passes through the community, leading south 14 miles (23 km) to Mobile and north the same distance to Mount Vernon.

17.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 1,936 people, 585 households, and 447 families residing in the city.

[16] This rezoning affected residents in Creola, who were newly assigned to North Mobile County.

In 2011 Renee Busbee of the Mobile Press-Register said that residents of Creola may be rezoned to Blount, Citronelle, and/or Vigor high schools.

Any Creola residents wishing to send their children to Satsuma schools would be required to pay tuition.

[17] As of 2013[update] about 100 students residing in Creola attended Satsuma schools.

[19] Due to the distance to Citronelle High (the distance by bus is about 30 minutes), several area parents wanted an annexation to the City of Satsuma and/or a partnership with the Satsuma school system.
