Apalachicola — Blog — Chad Gallivanter

Situated on the northwest Gulf Coast in Franklin County is one of Florida’s most historic port cities. Taking its name from a tribe of Native Americans who once called this place home, Apalachicola is said to mean “land of friendly people.” It was established in 1831, quickly becoming a bustling port town for shipping cotton. By the end of the century, it was an important center for seafood processing and the oyster industry.

Today, Apalachicola is a popular destination for travelers who come to enjoy the town’s historic architecture, unique culture, and beautiful natural scenery. This is a place I fell in love with my first trip here more than a decade ago. And you will too once you experience it.
