Tallahassee, Florida

Tallahassee is the headquarters of Leon County and the capital of Florida. With a total area of 103.5 square miles, the city is home to about 189,907 people according to 2015 population estimation. It is ranked the most populous city in the region of Northwest Florida and the 126th largest city in the country. It is the commercial and agricultural hub of the Florida Big Bend, and home to the 38th best public university in the country.

History of Tallahassee

The word “Tallahassee” is a Muskogean Indian word that translates to “old town” or “old field,” indicating the Creek tribe origin of the word. The Spanish were the first Europeans to arrive in the area in 1528. This first group of settlers totaled around 400 and were led by Conquistador Panfilo de Narvaez; many of them lost their lives in the attacks by Native Americans.

The second group of Spanish, comprised of 600 soldiers under the command of Hernando de Soto, came and forcefully occupied the Apalachee village, settling there for about four months during the 1538 to 1539 winter. They later left for their destination. Because of the cruelty of de Soto and his men, the Apalachean resisted the Spanish missionaries that came to the village after the de Soto’s departure. However, the missionaries were able to establish the Mission of San Luis de Apalachee, which was the provincial headquarters of the Spanish in America at that time.

In 1821, Florida gained independence from the Spanish and became a part of the United States. During the second legislative session, Tallahassee was chosen in 1845 as its capital city because of its central location to the two largest cities of the state: St. Augustine and Pensacola.

It should be noted that there were controversies over the spelling of the word Tallahassee. The wife of the governor of the territory, Octavia Walton, suggested its current spelling.

Tallahassee as a city has suffered a number of wars, including the several resistances led by local Indian tribes against the Spanish explorers and missionaries, as well as the First Seminole War. The city was not taken over by the Union army during the Civil War, unlike the other Confederate state capitals.
