History

The area was once inhabited by the Timucuan Indians, who lived in fortified villages. War and disease, however, would decimate the tribe. Florida was acquired from Spain by the United States in 1821, although permanent settlement was delayed until after the Second Seminole War from 1835 to 1842. When the Civil War ended, Florida experienced a boom in tourism. The Timucuans were a prehistoric Native American civilization centered around the present-day central and north Florida and southeastern Georgia area of the Southeast United States. ...
