Mardi Gras was started in Mobile, Alabama. Don’t let anyone from New Orleans tell you otherwise. After the civil war, one man is credited with getting it started again by dressing like a Chickasaw Chieftan and marching through the streets of Mobile. Joe Cain is celebrated to this day with his own parade during the Mardi Gras season.
