Name
"Apalachicola" is a combination of Hitchiti Indian words "apalahchi," meaning "on the other side," and "okli," meaning people. In original reference to the settlement, it probably meant "people on the other side of the river."[1] Many inhabitants of Apalachicola, however, choose to translate the name of their town as "land of the friendly people."[2] Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
History A trading post called Cottonton was located on the current site of Apalachicola. In 1827, the town was incorporated as West Point. Apalachicola received its current name in 1831, by an Act of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida.
Before the development of railways in the Gulf states, Apalachicola was the third busiest port in the Gulf of Mexico (behind New Orleans and Mobile). In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the sponge trade, led by Greek immigrants, was a major industry in the town. Apalachicola is still the home port for a variety of seafood workers, including oyster harvesters and shrimpers. More than 90% of Florida's oyster production is harvested from Apalachicola Bay. Every year the town hosts the Florida Seafood Festival. The bay is well protected by St. Vincent Island, Flag, Sand, St. George Island, and Cape St. George Island. New Orleans is the largest city in the state of Louisiana, United States of America. ...
