Gulf Breeze sits on a peninsula between Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound that has been prized for one thing above all: its live oaks. The British, who occupied the peninsula in the late 1700s, called it Town Point. Its dense, crooked live oak timber was ideal for the frames of wooden warships, and in 1828 President John Quincy Adams established the Naval Live Oaks Reservation here, the nation's first federal tree farm, to grow timber for the U.S. Navy. Adams appointed West Florida judge Henry Marie Brackenridge as superintendent, and he began experiments in cultivating the oaks, but the project was shut down under Adams's successor, Andrew Jackson.
For most of the next century the peninsula stayed quiet. Deadman's Island, just offshore, served Pensacola as a ship quarantine station and later held a dry dock and other works. The modern town began with the roads and bridges of the early 1930s, which linked Pensacola, the peninsula and Pensacola Beach and brought U.S. Highway 98 through. In 1936 a post office opened at the Gulf Breeze Cottages and Store, and the community took its name from that business. When the Pensacola Bay Bridge was expanded, residents adopted a city charter, and Gulf Breeze was incorporated on August 10, 1961. Today the Naval Live Oaks Area of Gulf Islands National Seashore, run by the National Park Service, still protects more than 1,300 acres of the old reservation's forest at the city's doorstep.
