People from Alabama love to tell you that, in fact, the first Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, Alabama. They aren't wrong. The French originally settled there and celebrated Mardi Gras there before deciding New Orleans was a better spot to grow the new French colony.
So they took the tradition with them. By the 1870s (the Victorian era) is when you see the origins of the Mardi Gras we know today. Some of the krewes (parades) formed back then still parade today, including Rex!
