Robertsdale is a city in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States. At the 2000 census the population was 3,782.

History

The Southern Plantation Corporation of Chicago, Illinois founded Robertsdale in 1905. The city's present location was chosen largely due to the fertile farmland and the fact that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad line had just recently made extensions to Foley, Alabama. The town was named after one of the officials of the Corporation, Dr. B.F. Roberts, and was incorporated in 1921.Fact|date=October 2007
