About St. Johns County
St. Johns County Timeline
St. Johns County, located in northeastern Florida, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. The area was first explored by European settlers in the 1560s, when Spanish conquistadors arrived in search of wealth and control. The Spanish established the settlement of St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States, in 1565. St. Augustine became the capital of Spanish Florida and served as a vital military outpost, fortifying the Spanish presence in the region.
In the 18th century, the British gained control of St. Augustine and the surrounding area after defeating the Spanish in the French and Indian War. During this time, St. Johns County experienced significant growth, with an influx of British settlers and the establishment of plantations. However, the British rule was short-lived as Spain regained control of Florida following the American Revolution.
St. Johns County played a crucial role in the Civil War as it was one of the few Confederate-held areas in Florida. The county saw skirmishes and raids throughout the war, and the city of St. Augustine served as a Confederate blockade-running port. After the war, St. Johns County struggled with economic challenges, including the decline of the plantation system and the devastation caused by the war.
In the early 20th century, St. Johns County experienced a revival as tourism began to flourish. The pristine beaches and historical attractions of St. Augustine attracted visitors from around the country, bolstering the local economy. Today, St. Johns County continues to be a popular tourist destination and has experienced significant population growth. It remains a place where the past seamlessly blends with the present, offering a captivating glimpse into Florida's rich history.
