Discover Donalsonville
Donalsonville, the seat of Seminole County, is named for John Ernest Donalson (1846–1920), a prominent local businessman who laid out the town, according to a map titled "Plan of Donalson" dated April 1889. He built its first lumber mill, the Donalson Lumber Company, along with homes and a commissary for the mill workers, and the lumber business paved the way for the town's growth.
More about Donalsonville
The area's history goes back much further. Near the forks of the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers stood Sabacola, a town of Hitchiti-speaking Lower Creeks, where the Spanish mission of Santa Cruz de Sabacola el Menor was founded in 1675. English traders from Charles Town reached the Lower Creeks by 1685, and Spain and England competed for their alliance. In 1717 the pro-Spanish leader Cherokeeleche built a stockade there, but the town was abandoned after a raid by pro-English Indians in 1724; its site now lies under Lake Seminole. On December 8, 1897, Governor William Yates Atkinson signed a charter incorporating the town of Donalsonville, with Thomas Chason as mayor and Donalson among the aldermen. When Seminole County was formed from Decatur County in January 1920, Donalsonville became its seat, and in August 1922 its charter was amended to make it a city. The Seminole County Courthouse, built in 1922, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
