Bradenton, the seat of Manatee County, stands near the site of Angola, a settlement of Maroons, people who had escaped slavery, that existed from the late 1700s until 1821 and is believed to have stretched from the Manatee River, then called the Oyster River, to Sarasota Bay. With an estimated 600 to 750 residents, it was a large Maroon community, protected by a river too shallow for U.S. Navy ships, until Creeks allied with Andrew Jackson attacked and it was abandoned.
In January 1842 Josiah Gates moved to the area with his family and eight enslaved people and built an inn, the Gates House, for settlers arriving from Fort Brooke; he is credited as the first known American settler in what is now Manatee County. The city is named for Dr. Joseph Braden, a Virginian who had a cotton plantation in Leon County and, after the Panic of 1837, came to Manatee County in 1843 to start a 1,100-acre sugar plantation. He built a pier in present-day downtown Bradenton to ship sugar, with a stockade home called Fort Braden at its base, which was attacked by a few Seminoles on April 6, 1856, during the Third Seminole War. The Panic of 1857 sent Braden back to Leon County. In 1876 Major Alden Joseph Adams bought 400 acres between present-day Manatee Memorial Hospital and 9th Street.
