The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Fort White was originally constructed as a military fort during the Second Seminole War in 1836 to protect the Cow Creek settlement. Supplies were brought in by steamboat on the Santa Fe River and distributed to other area forts. Due to sickness, flooding along the river, and rumors of the railroad coming to the area, the settlement was moved 4 miles (6 km) east to its present location. The area of the original fort became the Fort White Wildlife and Environmental Area in 1997.
