Apalachicola History

The earliest inhabitants of the area were native Americans. Beginning in the early 1500s the area was considered part of Spanish Florida, but never actually settled by the Spanish. In the 1750s the Spanish traded the area to the British to retain possession of Cuba. This area became the British trading post known as Cottonton located at the mouth of the Apalachicola River. In the 1800s this territory was acquired by the United States and incorporated into West Point in 1831.

Prior to the railroads that came through the area in the late 1900s, the town of Apalachicola was the third-busiest port on the entire Gulf of Mexico. Giving the town a deep-rooted maritime past that can be experienced through museums and tours today.
