Camp Hill, AL

Camp Hill is a town in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States. The population was 9,527 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Mobile metropolitan area.

The town of Camp Hill was founded in 1825 by Colonel John Harden and his wife Elizabeth as a stop on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The town's name comes from Colonel Harden's military camp near the present-day intersection of U.S. Highway 31 and Alabama State Route 231. In 1835, Camp Hill became the county seat of Baldwin County after a dispute with neighboring Fairhope over which community should have that honor ended in a duel between the two mayors.

In 1861, during the American Civil War, Camp Hill served as headquarters for Confederate General James Longstreet's corps during its march to join General Robert E. Lee at Richmond, Virginia; Longstreet later praised its facilities as "excellent." Afterward, it served as a Union army post until 1865.

Today, Camp Hill is home to several businesses including Tyson Foods Inc., Kimberly-Clark Corporation (makers of Kleenex), and Regions Financial Corporation (the largest bank in Alabama). The town also has several churches (including Calvary Baptist Church), schools (including Baldwin County Christian School and Saint Pauls Episcopal School), and recreational facilities including an amusement park known as Six Flags Over Midtown and an 18-hole golf course called Heritage Hills Golf Club.
