Jacksonville, Florida's most populous city, has been inhabited for thousands of years; on Black Hammock Island in the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, researchers found some of the oldest pottery in the United States, dating to 2500 B.C. In the 16th century the area was home to the Mocama, coastal Timucua whose villages belonged to the Saturiwa chiefdom at the mouth of the St. Johns River. In 1562 French Huguenot Jean Ribault charted the river, calling it the River of May, and in 1564 René Goulaine de Laudonnière built Fort Caroline near the main Saturiwa village. On September 20, 1565, a Spanish force from St. Augustine under Pedro Menéndez de Avilés attacked the fort and killed nearly all its defenders.
Under British rule from 1763 to 1783, the King's Road from St. Augustine to Georgia crossed the river at the Cow Ford, Wacca Pilatka. After Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, settlers on the north side of the Cow Ford laid out a town and named it for Andrew Jackson, Florida's first territorial governor. Led by Isaiah D. Hart, residents wrote a town charter, approved on February 9, 1832. In the Civil War Jacksonville supplied hogs and cattle to the Confederacy and raised units including the Jacksonville Light Infantry. No battles were fought in the city itself, but it changed hands several times; Union troops occupied it in 1862 and from 1864, marching out to defeat at Olustee in February 1864, and enslaved people escaped to Union lines. After the war Jacksonville and St. Augustine became fashionable winter resorts, reached by steamboat and later by rail. Sources Wikipedia: Jacksonville, Florida
