Kushla is a small place in Mobile County, Alabama, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own city government like a big town or city. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
The name Kushla probably comes from the Choctaw people. In their language, kusha means 'cane' (like a tall grass) and hieli means 'standing'. So, Kushla might mean 'standing cane' or 'place of standing cane'. There was a post office in Kushla for many years, from 1887 to 1919.
