Quincy, the seat of Gadsden County, was established and incorporated in 1828 and named for President John Quincy Adams. Gadsden County, Florida's fifth, was formed in 1823 and once stretched from Georgia to the Gulf and from the Suwannee to the Apalachicola River; it is named for Captain James Gadsden, the Army engineer who campaigned here with Andrew Jackson in 1818 and later negotiated the Gadsden Purchase. Robert Forbes, the first sheriff, used his house as a courthouse in the early 1820s. By 1840 Quincy had a male academy and a female academy, and Joshua Knowles published the Quincy Sentinel here from November 1839 until it moved to Tallahassee in 1841.
Before the Civil War the county grew cotton, sugar cane and tobacco. On June 27, 1860, the anti-secession Constitutional Union Party held its state convention in Quincy. During the war former mayor William Tennent Stockton raised the Gadsden Dragoons, and Major Pleasant W. White of Quincy oversaw the Confederate commissary system that supplied beef, salt and other goods from Florida. Tobacco shaped the town's fortunes. Governor William P. Duval introduced Cuban tobacco to the territory in 1828, and by 1890 shade-grown Cuban tobacco for cigar wrappers had become Gadsden County's major industry, from field to finished cigar, producing brands such as White Owl and King Edward. Fuller's earth mining and tomatoes later joined it as important industries.
