History & Context

Franklin County - Gulf of Mexico Situated in the beautiful Panhandle of Florida, Franklin County seat is Apalachicola, boasts some of the State's most wonderful well-preserved natural and historical resources. During the last part of the 17th century, the Spanish maintained their tenuous hold on Northwest Florida through the missions and the small fort at St. Marks. When Indian allies of the English at Charleston, S.C., raided Spanish territory, Indian allies of the Spanish desert- ed eastern Ceorgia in favor of the Chattahoochee River. Dr. Henry Woodward, a soldier of fortune, led the English activities in this contest for the Indian trade. The Spanish tried to control their Indian allies by building a fort near the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers known as Santa Cruz de Sabacola. This lasted only a few years (1689-1691) because the Indians, incensed at the Spanish fort in their territory and preferring English trade goods, began moving closer to English settlements.
