Discover Bristol
Bristol, the seat of Liberty County and its only incorporated city, was settled in 1859 to be the county seat. It began with about 300 people, a general store, three sawmills, three gristmills, a hotel and Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Pioneer Moses Strause deeded land to the county, and a small log building he had built became the first courthouse. The first postmaster, D. G. Harrell, received mail by boat on the river route from Columbus, Georgia, to Apalachicola on Mondays and Thursdays, and the main exports were beeswax, cotton, hides, honey and oranges. Despite its long history, the City of Bristol was not incorporated until June 19, 1958.
More about Bristol
The bluffs along the Apalachicola River near Bristol are home to one of the world's rarest conifers. Around 1835 planter and botanist Hardy Bryan Croom discovered the Florida torreya, Torreya taxifolia, nearby and named it for botanist John Torrey; Croom died in 1837 in the wreck of the steamship Home off Cape Hatteras. In the 20th century, Elvy E. Callaway, a former Baptist minister and candidate for governor, claimed that the Garden of Eden lay in northern Liberty County, citing the river and the torreya, which he said was the gopher wood of Noah's ark, and he ran a roadside attraction there from 1956 until his death in 1981. The Nature Conservancy then acquired the land as the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve, protecting the critically endangered torreya.
