History
The Treasure Coast is a region on the east coast of Florida, United States, encompassing Indian River, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties. The name "Treasure Coast" is derived from the numerous shipwrecks that occurred off the coast during the 17th and 18th centuries, resulting in lost treasures from Spanish galleons.
Here's an overview of the Treasure Coast's history:Indigenous Peoples:Prior to European exploration and settlement, the region was inhabited by various indigenous peoples, including the Ais, Jeaga, and Tequesta tribes. These Native American groups thrived on fishing and hunting in the abundant natural resources of the area.
Spanish Exploration:In the early 16th century, Spanish explorers, including Juan Ponce de León, explored the Florida peninsula. The Spanish established missions and settlements along the east coast, interacting with the native populations.
