The Perdido River is a river in the U.S. states of Alabama and Florida, approximately 60 miles (100 km) long. The river forms part of the boundary between the two states along nearly its entire length and drains into the Gulf of Mexico. During the early 19th century it played a central role in a series of rotating boundary changes and disputes among France, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States. It rises in southeastern Alabama in Escambia County approximately 8 miles (11 km) NW of Atmore. It flows south approximately 5 miles (8 km) to latitude 31°N, south of which it forms the remainder of the Alabama/Florida border. It flows generally ESE in a winding course and enters the north end Perdido Bay on the Gulf of Mexico approximately 10 miles (15 km) west of Pensacola, Florida.
