The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Cinco Bayou was platted in 1940, and the Town of Cinco Bayou officially incorporated as a municipality on July 3, 1950, at a meeting held at the Cinco Bayou garage, attended by about 60 people. Gordon Gibson was elected the first mayor. At this time there were about 250 residents in the area between the Fort Walton city limits and the Cinco Bayou, an east-west oriented finger of water on the west end of the Choctawhatchee Bay.
