Discover Theodore

Theodore, south of Mobile, was known as Clements before 1900. It takes its present name from William Theodore Hieronymous, a sawmill operator and postmaster. Theodore first appeared in the U.S. Census in 1890 as a village of 277 people, and it did not appear again until 1980, when it was counted as a census-designated place.

More about Theodore

The community is best known for Bellingrath Gardens and Home. In 1917 Walter Bellingrath bought the land as a fishing camp, known as the "Belle Camp." His wife, Bessie Mae Morse Bellingrath, whom he had married in 1906, began turning it into gardens in 1927 with architect George Bigelow Rogers. The gardens opened to the public for the first time on April 7, 1932, and the couple's home was completed in 1935. After Bessie died in 1943, Walter set up the Bellingrath-Morse Foundation in 1950 to keep the estate going. He died in 1955, and the home opened as a museum in 1956. Bellingrath Gardens and Home was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on September 14, 1977, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1982.
