Foley is a principal city of the Daphne–Fairhope–Foley Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Baldwin County.
Foley was founded by John Burton Foley, who was primarily responsible for the development of South Baldwin County. He was a Chicago businessman who became interested in land development when he inherited his brother John Garrett Foley's land investments and convinced his St. Paul prep school friend, Cornelius Vanderbilt, to put a railroad station in Foley. The Foley family is still involved with land development in Baldwin County with John's original company, Magnolia Land Company, and, more recently, Cunningham, Foley, and Barnes. Foley is also the hometown of Ken "The Snake" Stabler and more recently known football player Julio Jones.
