Discover Alachua
Alachua, the second-largest city in Alachua County, lies near San Felasco Hammock, where Paleo-Indian sites have been documented and where the main town of the Potano people stood. That town became the site of Mission San Francisco de Potano, the first Spanish mission with a resident priest in the Florida interior, founded in 1606 and the last abandoned, in the early 1700s, after British-instigated raids. Another mission, Santa Fe de Toloca, stood to the north on the Santa Fe River.
More about Alachua
The area just northeast of today's city was among the first settled by Americans in Florida in the early 19th century, including participants in the Patriot War that tried to force Spanish Florida into the United States, among them the Dell family. Their community, first called Dell's Courthouse and later Newnansville, is with Micanopy the oldest distinctly American settlement in the state, and the Methodist church the Dells started continues today as Alachua Methodist Church. Newnansville became the second seat of Alachua County and a center of activity in the Second Seminole War, with Fort Gilleland inside its limits; refugees swelled its population to between 1,500 and 2,000, among the largest in Florida. In the early 1850s the Florida Railroad, the first cross-state line, bypassed Newnansville. Sources Wikipedia: Alachua, Florida
