Coden is an unincorporated coastal fishing village in southern Mobile County, Alabama. Located near Bayou la Batre, it is across the Mississippi Sound from Dauphin Island.[1]

History

The name of the community is derived from Bayou Coden, the bayou that it is situated upon. Bayou Coden is an English translation of the original French name, Bayou Coq I'nde.[1] Beginning in the late 1800s the area became known for its resorts, but a hurricane in 1906 ended the hotel business.[2]
