Originally founded in the early 1900s by John B. Foley of Chicago, the city was shaped by its rich agricultural roots and the introduction of a railroad service, which positioned it as a key economic hub in South Baldwin County. Today, the railroad no longer operates, but Foley retains its historic charm while evolving into a great destination to live, work, and play. Real estate taxes are among the lowest in the nation, making Foley especially attractive for those looking to stretch their dollars.
